“Molly comes to Timber Ridge to start over and do something with her life that would make a difference.
She takes a teaching position, buys a wedding ring, weaving a story about being a recent widow, hiding the secret of being pregnant from everyone as long as she can. However, its only a matter of time before her little bump won't be so easy to hide and the consequences of her past decisions will come to greet her.
The town Sheriff Daniel, meets Molly first at the train station and secondly rescuing her. Molly's resolve, passion and values ultimately make an impression he can't shake and feelings he can't ignore.
A great story of betrayal, forgiveness, redemption and love.
I have to say, out of the three books, Molly's character was less frustrating than the other two in the series! ”
“"Beyond This Moment" is an engaging story that will delight any fan of Tamera Alexander. Once again, Alexander goes a step further than some of her colleagues and really grounds her story and characters in realistic scenarios, rather than writing romantic fluff. It's inspirational to watch Molly mature and learn from her mistakes, just as everyone learned to forgive her.”

I feel that it emphasizes a Christian message on sex outside of marriage more than anything else, and it really turned me off. The story also addresses violence in relation to immigration / racial issues. So there are not very many light or warm moments. All in all, too preachy and pessimistic. It's a shame, because I enjoyed the first book. ”

Highly recommend this book and this author!”
