A moment in Time is another quality read
from Ms. Tracie Peterson. She introduces us to another generation of Barnett’s,
Reid’s, and Atherton’s from her Land of the Lone Star Series. This is actually
the second book in The Lone Star Bride Series. There are two story lines to
keep your interest. The main plot centers on Alice Chesterfield, a young woman
with a physical scar on her face, and emotional scars within. She has lost both
parents and a younger brother and serves as an assistant to Marty Wythe. Alice
follows Marty to Texas, in order to escape a stalker among other reasons. She
meets Robert Barnett, a young rancher, who never seems to notice her scar and
treats her with the utmost respect. But Robert is engaged, according to
everyone, since a child to Jessica Atherton.
A Secondary plot revolves around Marty
Wythe, younger sister to Hannah Barnett whom we met in the Lone Star Series.
Marty is married to Jake, whom she met through mail order process. They are
separated for a time while Jake seeks work in Texas and Marty remains behind
not completely trusting his decisions.
I will not break down the complex plots
here but suffice it to say the many twists and turns have one gasping,
sniffling and laughing. There are many nuggets of humor, pathos, and spiritual
truths. You won't want to miss this one and you catch a glimpse of the hero and
heroine from the final book to come in the Lone Star Bride series. A Moment in
Time serves up many moments of enjoyment.
I received this book from Bethany House for
an honest review.
