Bentonsport: A New Chapter

What if you followed your heart—not across distance but across time?

Sarah Peterson never knew how far she would go for love until Thomas Barton walked into her life, they fell in love, and he asked her to join him in his world—a hundred and fifty years back in time. Now, she’s facing a world she’d only dreamed of, and reality is nothing like her dreams.

From the Blog I write each week about what I love—faith, themes from my books (recipes, settings, topics, etc.), good news, and topics that spark interest! Pour another cup of coffee and join me!
