This novel begins near my new hometown in Nashville,Tennessee. The battle of Nashville to be exact. The year 1864. Where, after a horrific battle, our hero is buried alive. That is also where his story begins. Within My Heart Timber Ridge Reflections, Book 3 by Tamera Alexander Bethany House September 2010 This is a great book on many levels. You watch in intimate details as the Lord weaves these hearts together. All of the characters become alive as you watch each one's story unfold. You feel their great joy, their heartbreaking grief and triumphs in their faith. You are involved. There is much more than a love story here. The lonely doctor and the widow with two sons, each with their own fears to overcome. One's is a heart gripping fear and the other from experiencing great grief. I know one part of this story I will never forget, is the gravedigger's. If I were a betting person, I would say you won't either. This is my first time to read anything by Tamera Alexander, it won't be my last. I highly recommend this novel.
