Professor Molly Whitcomb travels to Colorado in the 1870s to start over, but will the local sheriff discover her secret? // 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.

"Once agian Tamera Alexander creates another great read. I fell in love with these characters immediatly. She engages us in a storyline that grabs our attention and tugs at the emtions until the very last page. Alexander does a wonderful job as she beautifully illustrates that while we have to suffer the consequneces of certain decisions we make in the heat of the moment, grace and mercy are available for every person."

— Linda, 2/18/2014" I really liked this book...lots of turns and twists. "
— Kristi, 2/16/2014" It's not my favorite when an entire story is about a lie. It gave me a stomach ache wondering why Molly couldn't just suck it up and tell the truth- but I loved the writing, descriptions, and characters. "
— Brenda, 1/28/2014" this is one of my most favourite books of all time!!! i always have it next to my bed incase my other books get boring :D and i think the first book in this series 'from a distance' is also really good. im just about to start the third book in this seriese 'within my heart' which is about Rachel Boyd and Dr Rand Brooksten so i hope that ones good too... :D "

— Judy, 4/9/2012" I enjoyed this second installment of the Timber Ridge Series. You were able to catch up with some of the main characters from book 1 but it didn't focus on them but rather new characters. The dialogue is engaging and the story itself was well put together. Looking forward to the next book! "
