Bentonsport: A New Chapter by Lisa Schnedler

/ kellyfbarr / Leave a comment

Bentonsport: A New Chapter is the second book of Lisa Schnedler’s duology. The first book is Bentonsport: A Christmas Story, which I read and reviewed for Clean Fiction Magazine. After reading the first book, I had to read this one to find out how things worked out or didn’t work out for Thomas Barton and Sarah Peterson.

Both books are time travel novels. In Bentonsport: A New Chapter, Sarah has gone 150 years back in time to join Thomas Barton in his world. Sarah is also from Bentonsport, but in a very different time period. This book is a fun read as Sarah, who is used to many of the modern conveniences that you and I live with in today’s world, must now do without such things as electric stoves and ovens, electricity in the house, cell phones, and many other things. In addition, she has to dress differently and live a different lifestyle than she is used to. She also has to be careful what she says to avoid appearing crazy.

This novel is a delightful read as Sarah struggles and, eventually, accepts her new world. Readers will also be delighted with some surprises in the story. You will also fall in love with some of the characters. This book will also make you laugh out loud on occasion.

An easy to read, clean fiction story, with a bit of the Christian religion mixed in, as well as adventure and fun is all to be had in Bentonsport: A New Chapter. I highly recommend this book, but strongly suggest you read Bentonsport: A Christmas Story first to fully understand and follow this sequel. However, I will mention that the first novel is a bit more serious, and sometimes intense and suspenseful. It seems to set things up for this book, but both are definitely worth the read!

I give Bentonsport: A New Chapter by Lisa Schnedler a 5 star rating.

Blurb

Enoch Valentine has given up finding peace for his past mistakes. He throws everything he has into being the new part-time deputy in Burrton Springs, Kansas while maintaining the foreman position at a local horse ranch. But when trouble stirs on the ranch, he questions whether he’s the right man for either job.

Peace has been elusive for most of Gertrude Miller’s life, especially under the oppressiveness of an overbearing mother. She takes matters into her own hands and sends for a potential husband, while also opening her own dress shop. Gertrude hopes to build a future where she’ll find peace and happiness.

Will either of them ever be able to find peace?
