"...Alexander has written another fantastic book..."
From a Distance is a wonderful historical romance that tells the story of Elizabeth Garrett Westbrook, a spunky photographer who wants to capture the vista of the Colorado mountains in pictures to share back east. She meets Daniel Ranslett, a mountain guide, and romance ensues. Josiah Birch is a former slave who was separated from his wife Belle and prays one day to be reunited with her. This secondary story is touching and sweet. I would recommend this book for a glimpse into the past and as a captivating romance. From a Distance gets my highest recommendation! Tamara Alexander has written another fantastic book that delves into one's emotions with a true touch of faith.

Book Description for From A Distance
What happens when the realization of a dream isn't what you imagined... and the secret you've spent a lifetime guarding is finally laid bare?
Determined to become one of the country's premier newspaper photographers, Elizabeth Westbrook travels to the Colorado Territory to capture the grandeur of the mountains surrounding the remote town of Timber Ridge. She hopes, too, that the cool, dry air of Colorado, and its renowned hot springs, will cure the mysterious illness that threatens her career, and her life.
Daniel Ranslett, a former Confederate sharpshooter, is a man shackled by his past, and he'll do anything to protect his land, and his solitude. When an outspoken Yankee photographer captures an image that appears key to solving a murder, putting herself in danger, Daniel is called upon to repay a debt. He's a man of his word, but repaying that debt could bring secrets from his past to light.
Forced on a perilous journey together, Daniel and Elizabeth's lives intertwine in ways neither could have imagined when first they met . . . from a distance.
