    A Moment in Time focuses on Alice Chesterfield, a woman who lives in fear and feels that no man will ever be able to love her because of her scarred face. Alice is such a kind and likeable character. She truly tries to be nice to everyone and does not want to cause problems for anybody. As she begins to have feelings for Robert, she doubts that he would ever be truly attracted to her.

    Robert Barnett is a strong and handsome hero, who sees past what is on the outside and is immediately drawn to Alice. But, everyone expects Robert to wed his childhood friend, Jessica. Robert must search his heart and discern what God wants for him.

    Alice and Robert are such great characters. The attraction and gentle romance between them is wonderful. I also really enjoyed that the story contains a lot of Marty and Jake, from the first book. It is so nice to see what is going on in their lives. Their relationship continues to grow and thrive, after a shaky start, through this book.

    I highly recommend this series to fans of historical fiction and I have since realized that this series is linked to an earlier series that Tracie Peterson wrote called Land of the Lone Star. Now I look forward to reading that series as well.

    A Moment In Time is the second book of Tracie Peterson's Lone Star Brides series. The book tells the story of Alice Chesterfield, a shy young woman who is haunted by her past. The book also tells the continued story of Marty and Jacob Wythe (their story continues from the first book in the series, A Sensible Arrangement). We find out that Alice worked for Marty as her maid and through the passage of time has now become close friends. The economic crisis forces Marty and Jacob to move from Colorado to Texas, where Marty is reticent to go. Alice goes with them and finds family, love, and healing.

    I truly enjoyed reading this book. Tracie Peterson writes such beautiful characters and describes great scenery that transports you to a different time and into beloved characters' lives. After I finished reading this book, I felt that it was a must to read the first book because I wanted to further appreciate the growth of these characters. Overall, this book depicts the beauty of the love of a family, friendship, healing, and God's steadfast love.

    Note: I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.

    The first novel in the series is titled, A Sensible Arrangement, where we meet Marty who has left Texas in the hopes of a fresh start. We also meet Jacob who is a Texan and rancher at heart, but having no ranch inheritance so he went to Denver to work in banking. This sequel continues the story of these two young people now married, but definitely not in agreement as to where to live when the nation's financial trouble closes many businesses and banks across the United States.

    Alice is a young lady who after her father is murdered and she heals from her wounds comes to work in the home of Jacob and Marty. Since most of the staff had to be let go due to lack of money to pay them, Jacob knows in his heart he must soon leave Denver in search of employment. Marty is fearful that he will take her back to Texas, which is the last place on earth she wants to be.

    One of the main attractions to the tale is the idea of family coming together to help each other in time of need. The other point in the story is how even when we think we have nothing to give there is an amazing awareness that we still can give of what we already own. The characters are truly reflections of humans in that we desire to at times fight the Lord when we fear where He is leading. I loved the aspect of the family coming together to help each other in succeeding in their endeavors, yet, above all, having a deep love and respect for each individual.

    Texas has a rich history and varied scenery depending on where one lives or travels, which Tracie Peterson describes in the book. The depth of the commitment of heart, faith and home is a rich component of the personalities the many characters exhibit. Tracie Peterson has written another splendid novel that reminds us how the Lord helps heal our hurts and to move forward even when we are afraid of what lies ahead.

    It was rewarding to see how everyone worked together to benefit their neighbors and the orphans that Marty came to love dearly while she lived there a short time. Giving away the love God plants in our hearts is one theme that is constant throughout the story. Reading about the characters looking to God and asking for help, both individually and together, was an encouragement to me. I cannot wait for the third installment, A Matter of the Heart, set for release in October 2014. One cannot help but finish these books and be encouraged and renewed with hope, especially if life is trying right now.
