When Dr. Molly Whitcomb, Professor of Romance Languages, steps off the train in Colorado Territory, she makes a choice--one that goes against everything she stands for. Yet it's the only choice that offers her a chance to regain a fraction of all she's lost.
Sheriff James McPherson's instincts about people rarely miss the mark. He knows Professor Whitcomb is hiding something. He just doesn't know what. When James learns Molly's secret, his own reputation is undermined. But when Molly Whitcomb's reinvented life begins to unravel, it threatens his job, the stability of Timber Ridge, and what he always knew to be true about himself.

"Ms. Alexander has a deft way of throwing together two protagonists who have immediate chemistry and sparks but also big conflicts. She paints the Colorado wilderness with such skill that you can smell the pines and hear them signing in the wind. She shows the prejudices of the time period and how unjust they were. The theme of Beyond This Moment is that no matter how one ruins his or her life, God can redeem it if they only turn to Him." --Vickie McDonough, TitleTrakk.com
"This second novel in the Timber Ridge Reflections series delves into issues of deception and the consequences of dishonesty. Alexander's reoccurring theme of trusting in faith and believing in forgiveness echoes throughout. Both Molly and James keep secrets, and their trust in one another is tested several times. With several lovable side characters, this is not just the story of Molly and James but the whole town of Timber Ridge. Alexander successfully brings the town alive; with thought-provoking plot and poignant prose, you will be whisked Beyond this Moment into another time and place." --Rebecca Roberts, Historical Novels Review
