Beyond This Moment / Tamera Alexander / 396 pages / Christy Award Nominee 2011

Dr. Molly Whitcomb has accepted a position in the Colorado Territory as a children's teacher.  Her previous position was college professor of languages.  Unfortunately, her one night stand with a fellow professor left her disgraced, without a position, and pregnant.  The headmaster of the college helped secure the western position for her and then gave her position to the scoundrel who betrayed her.  She purchases a wedding ring and masquerades as a widow to maintain respectability.  She had not anticipated falling in love with the sheriff and he with her.  This is a heartwarming tale of life during the early years of Colorado statehood and will surely appeal to teachers.
