Dismissed from the university where she served as Professor of Romantic Languages, Dr. Molly Whitcomb travels west to start over in the secluded mountain town of Timber Ridge, Colorado, where she’ll be teaching children. Her train stops in Denver, and on a whim, Molly purchases a wedding band; an attempt to cover a mistake, but also a chance at a fresh start.
Sheriff James McPherson was eager to hire a schoolteacher, but Dr. Molly Whitcomb isn’t what he expected. His instincts about people, which rarely miss the mark, tell him she’s hiding something. And when Molly’s secret is revealed, her reinvented life begins to unravel. What’s more, she risks losing her new found relationship with the sheriff and her renewed faith in God.
My take:~
Tamera Alexander’s name is synonymous with outstanding historical fiction and she confirms her talents once again with Beyond This Moment. The second in her Timber Ridge Reflections series delves deeply into the issues of integrity and forgiveness as Molly attempts to leave her poor choices behind. With an uncanny ability to draw the reader completely into the story with stunning descriptions, charming dialogue and a magnetic attraction between her protagonists, Tamera’s writing just keeps getting better. Tamera Alexander is, without question, a must read author for anyone who appreciates exceptional writing and loves to close a book with a heartfelt and satisfied sigh of delight!

To end a day with a ‘sigh of delight’ sounds like a must read book.

I know the date of this post is 4 May 2009!!! Almost a year ago today but I can't believe I missed this book. I loved From a Distance and didn't even realise there was a "Timber Ridge Reflections" series until I saw your recent post about the Christy Award nominees. So, I've just gone to the Koorong website to find it – and what luck – it's in stock and they've got 20% off this week. Yippee. Can't wait to read it.
