MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tamera Alexander quickly became one of my favorite authors as soon as I read her first book. She is not afraid to tackle tough subjects and writes about the kind of people that most Christians tend to judge or would like to pretend do not exist. Her characters are always portrayed realistically without sensationalism and the reader can easily become sympathetic as she learns what circumstances brought the character to her lowly state. But most of all, Ms. Alexander skillfully illustrates the overwhelming grace and power of God and shows that no one is outside of His care.<\/p>\n

Beyond This Moment<\/a> is probably my favorite of Alexander’s novels so far.\u00a0 It is a powerful story of the high cost of hiding the truth and the far reaching effects that one poor choice can have on a life and the lives of others. But it is also the story of God’s love for each individual and the redemption that comes when\u00a0 a life is surrendered to him.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:
\n<\/strong><\/strong>Lives are made up of tiny steps. Some are chosen for us;\u00a0some we choose.
\nAll hold the power to change who we become\u2014but only if we let them.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"beyondthismoment_small\"<\/strong>When Dr. Molly Whitcomb, Professor of Romance Languages, steps off the train in Colorado Territory, she makes a choice\u2014one that goes against everything she stands for. Yet it\u2019s the only choice that offers her a chance to regain a fraction of all she\u2019s lost.<\/p>\n

Sheriff James McPherson\u2019s instincts about people rarely miss the mark. He senses Professor Whitcomb is hiding something. He just doesn\u2019t know what. When James learns Molly\u2019s secret, his own reputation is undermined. But when Molly Whitcomb\u2019s reinvented life begins to unravel, it threatens his job, the stability of Timber Ridge, and what he always\u00a0knew\u00a0to be true about himself.<\/p>\n

Rave Reviews:<\/p>\n

“Pull up a comfy armchair! The main and secondary characters [in\u00a0Beyond This Moment] instantly become people to care about, and the plot twists will keep you turning pages long into the night. The themes of racial tolerance and second chances are as timely today as they were back in the early days of Colorado’s history.” – Romantic Times, 4 1\/2 star review<\/p>\n

\u201cTamera Alexander paints scenery with the written word, and makes characters, stories, and insights linger long after the book is read.\u201d\u2014 Cindy Woodsmall,\u00a0New York Times\u00a0bestselling author<\/p>\n
