Il ponte d'argilla è la storia appassionante di cinque fratelli costretti a vivere soli, e a definire da soli le regole della propria esistenza. E mentre i fratelli Dunbar amano, soffrono e lottano per imparare a fare i conti con il mondo degli adulti, scopriranno il segreto, tenero e straziante a un tempo, che si cela dietro la scomparsa del loro padre. Al centro della famiglia Dunbar, c'è Clay, l'unico dei fratelli che accetterà di riavvicinarsi al padre, per costruire con lui un ponte, concreto e metaforico nello stesso tempo: lo farà per la sua famiglia, per il loro passato, per il loro futuro, per espiare le colpe e dimenticare il dolore. Lo farà perché crede nel miracolo dell'animo umano. Ma fino a che punto Clay riuscirà a spingersi in questo percorso interiore? Quanti degli ostacoli che la vita gli ha posto davanti riuscirà a superare?
