"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!" -- Relz Reviewz
