Bridge Over Willow River Stories for All Ages Thirty stories by storyteller and former teacher Jerry Rudnitski Here in the village of Willowville we find the real experiences of life: the joys and challenges of childhood, the mysteries that linger in a community, the dangerous situations we can find ourselves in, the celebrations of life, the unexpected, and always...people helping each other. And in Willowville, the past and future exist all around us-their people and events-and sometimes the sensitive soul can see it.
