Hello Weekend Bookworms!
I love Friday's so much but today is particularly special. Many years ago my grandfather started a family tradition of going on a camping trip with his sons and grandsons the first weekend in October. After his passing some years ago my father decided to extend the invite to the rest of the family, and now the first weekend in October we have a family reunion of sorts with a lots of food, family, and fun. I look forward to it every year and though this year I'm not staying to camp I am looking forward to stopping by for a bit and seeing my family.
I am also excited to be sharing an excerpt from the second book in the Bentonsport series, along with a giveaway from JustRead Tours today! I hope you enjoy the except and that you have a wonderful weekend!
Welcome to the Blog Tour for Bentonsport - A New Chapter by Lisa Schnedler, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

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?

“My dear, right now, we don’t need to plan your future—we need to plan your past.”
“My past?” Sarah leaned back in the cranberry velvet chair, tucking a lock of blonde hair
behind her ear.
Mrs. Lockhardt laughed, and her penetrating blue eyes sparkled like freshly washed
crystal. A small woman, she patted at the silky white hair she’d pulled up in a bun, checking the
tendrils placed in front of each ear to match the curls falling onto her forehead.
“We could always tell the truth. Let’s see. ‘Virginia, dear, I want you to meet my lovely
friend, Sarah Peterson. Sarah just dropped into our lives yesterday. She’s visiting, perhaps even
staying with us. You see, she lives more than a hundred years in the future. Thomas Barton was
visiting with her last week and urged her to come back here for a visit.’”
She gave Sarah a half smile, her eyes still twinkling.
Picking up the crimson pillow scented with orange oil, Sarah smoothed its satin pleats
and hugged it. She gazed at the dust-specked sunbeam now pooled on the floor around her feet.
“I see what you mean.”
