Bridge is Uncle Lester's passion. It's also, Alton's parents hope, a way into the ailing, rich old codger's heart (i.e. his last will and testament). So when Uncle Lester takes a turn for the worse and loses his eyesight, Alton's parents are quick to volunteer their teenage son as his new "cardturner." But bridge turns out to be much more than a way into Uncle Lester's heart-it's also a way into his mysterious and tragic past, and, it turns out, Alton's future. Author's note. Appendix by Syd Fox with information about bridge.
