Román Z diaľky od Tamery Alexanderovej spája drsnú krásu coloradských hôr, nebezpečenstvá divočiny a odhodlanie ženy prekročiť spoločenské hranice; Elizabeth Westbrooková prichádza do Timber Ridge s cieľom stať sa profesionálnou fotografkou a zároveň zlepšiť svoje zdravie. Starostlivo skrývané tajomstvo Elizabeth ohrozuje jej prácu, reputáciu, vzťahy a dokonca život, čo tvorí hlavnú zápletku knihy. Keď sa jej cesty skrížia s miestnym stopárom Danielom Ranslettom, vzniká vzťah plný napätia, nedorozumení a iskrenia, ktoré sa vyhrocujú počas nebezpečnej cesty do hôr. Knihu odporúčam čitateľkám, ktoré majú rady historické príbehy so silnou ženskou hrdinkou, jemnú romantiku; ide tiež o cleanbook a začiatok série Odkazy z Timber Ridge.
