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. More afraid of losing him than of leaving everything behind, she put her future in God’s hands and awakened in the past. Now, she’s facing a world she’d only dreamed of, and reality is nothing like her dreams. Thomas Barton never imagined he’d meet a woman like his beloved Sara. Leaving her behind was the hardest thing he ever did. When he discovers she’s followed him across time, he’s ready to spend his life making her decision worthwhile. His friends come up with a plan to convince Bentonsport she’s part of their era, but it’s going to take another miracle to pull this off. Love was enough to carry them through a hundred and fifty years. Will it be enough to get them through the next weeks and months? |

Genre: Christian Romance / Speculative (Time Travel)
After my first adventure in Bentonsport – the modern one that is – I was beyond curious to find out how Sarah would adjust to the historical Bentonsport and Thomas's world...
I will admit that the journey Lisa Schnedler took her characters on was one that I didn't exactly expect – but it was one that I appreciated. More often than not in a time travel book the characters would fall in love in short period of time and the wedding would be imminent. And, while they did fall in love fairly quickly in Bentonsport: A Christmas Story, they actually get the time to come to know each other and the readers get the same chance in Bentonsport: A New Chapter.
I actually like the gentler approach that Lisa Schnedler has taken with both of these books. There is no danger or big adventure to overcome. Getting to sit back and simply enjoy the story for what it is was a nice change of pace and Bentonsport: A New Chapter reminded me in some little ways of (romance) fiction from the era in which this story was set.
Anyway, Bentonsport: A New Chapter is a sweet historical romance and I enjoyed my time spent in Bentonsport. I have no idea where Lisa Schnedler could go next but I wouldn't mind a return visit or two to Bentonsport sometime in the future...
