From A Distance Review

Tamera Alexander's From A Distance was reviewed in the Fall 2008 Church Libraries magazine:


There's conflict as soon as Elizabeth Westbrook, a strong-willed, fashionable, aspiring photojournalist and daughter of a decorated Union commander, bursts into the 1870's Colorado Territory from Washington, D.C. Elizabeth hires a freed slave, Josiah, who becomes a trusted friend with a story to tell. She battles a mysterious disease and turns more than a few heads while annoying others, especially former Confederate sharpshooter Daniel Ranslett, the man she plans to use to establish her career.

The plot is believable, and characters are endearingly drawn. There's a mystery to solve when one of Elizabeth's photographs becomes evidence in a murder. Plus there's plenty of girl-meets-and-loses-guy romantic twists, adventure when her life is endangered, and interpersonal conflict to make the pages tum. The setting is breathtaking, almost like a secondary character. This award-winning author has done it again. Recommended.

Check out Lisa Wingate's new video - it's not really for Talk of the Town, it's more an inspirational message that came from the book, but anyone who enjoyed reading it should also enjoy the video!
