Once in Every Life: A Novel

Once again, Kristin Hannah transported me to another time with another family.This is an amazing story of healing and redemption.I highly recommend it to anyone.

Like many people who are into the novels of Kristen Hannah it is easy to get hooked into reading more of her earlier books. Even though my usual novel reading revolves around detective, westerns and science fiction; however, what I recently discovered are some of the themes the prolific novelist Kristen Hannah writes about involves some interesting and unique romantic theme stories.This novel (Once in every life: a novel by Kristin Hannah) focuses on a science researcher named Tess Gregory and involves a time travel like theme which I found intriguing. I never ever give away too much information when reviewing any novel because I dislike reviewers who write so much about a book that it spoils it for others who may want to read a particular book.If you are a fan of Kristen Hannah’s novels this is one of her earlier books you might want to check out.Rating: 4 Stars.

Delivery was not a problem, but don't think I will order the mass production books again due to the small size and small print.

a writer puts together a "Once In Every Life."This is a romance with powerful family drama, a dash of time travel and it is simplygorgeous.I cried a bucket and laughed out loud.Kristin Hannah's novels so far have beensome of the most enjoyable, intelligent novelsI have ever read.With Once In Every Life, taking the lead by just a heartbeatof Mystic Lake.Her prose is just so seamless.Funny, too.Very real.The family drama in this book takes precedence to a certain degree over romance. Although all the different aspects just swirl beautifully together.Tess Gregory circa 1993 ends up as Jackson Rafferty's wifecirca 1873 thanks to a spirit named Carol.Jack is a terribly troubled man, who's marriage was a disaster.His children, bright and loving, have had two remote parents raising them in a loveless home.Enter Tess, given a second chance at life, and a chance tohelp this unhappy family.Her gentle tending of these damaged children is poignant and believable.Jack's painful and slow healing from his torments is well done.You'll love Tess's discovery of how things are done in 1873.It is just very, very splendid reading.5 stars are not enough for Once In Every Life, this book deserves 10

The creative journey through the characters and a very clever idea . It help my interest that I was excited to get to the ending. Addressed PTSD and how it affects not just the person but his/her family, friends and community.

When I find a author, I really like who writes a awesome, inspiring book, you don't want to put down until you finish. I start reading and follow the author, looking for and reading all their reviews and this certainly the case with Kristin Hannah. If you read one, you'll certain be picking up another to read.

Condition of book is perfect. No smokey or funky odors. I totally satisfied.

The description of this book had me intrigued, although the book cover made me think cheesy "Inspirational Romance".I'm not willing to give out any spoilers.I could tell by the end of the first chapter I'd love the book. The writing is excellent and engages the reader quickly. I stayed up until 4am to find out what would happen to these characters that I became so attached to.I would have liked a little more back story of both the characters, but that's all the negative I can think of. Not even worth of removing a star.I would be ecstatic to see this in theaters. :)

This book again was not as gripping as her other novels.It was not a page turner for me.But i will still read all her books

great

I searched for this book for years! I read it as a teen and the story stuck with me. It's not your run if the mill trashy trashy romance. It has heart and the characters are unforgettable. Love it.

As with Waiting for the Moon------this books starts out in an interesting way but ends up half way through with the attraction in a push forward/ pull away dynamic and finally getting to together for good.Boring.This book would suit a naive youngster.

I read this book years ago and the story line kept coming back to me over the years. So I bought it again. This time I'll hang on to it. Very good read.
