Once in Every Life
Once
in Every Life by Kristin Hannah is a time travel romance where the heroine
actually chooses to go to another time to live, or at least she chooses
another life. She didn't realise at the time it was in another century.
Tess Gregory is a brilliant research scientist who has overcome her deafness to build a career for herself. A career that is cut short after she is hit by a bus and finds herself offered a second chance at life.
Her next life is as Amarylis "Lissa" Rafferty, a woman who died in child birth leaving behind a family who are terrified of her and a husband who's fear of her is only shadowed by his fear of himself.
With her new family and second chance she soon sets about righting the family and wins the love of her two daughters. But her husband is another matter entirely.
Jack Rafferty knows that his wife is an expert at games and manipulation and is not convinced by the change in her since the birth of their young son. He knows that the only way to win is to hide his feelings and stay away from her, no matter how much he wants to believe that this time she is really a woman he can learn to love again.
But the only way he can love again is to overcome the fears of his past, and it when these become too much for him that Lissa must come through.
A touching story with a dramatic climax at the end it is based on real events to give an unequalled sense of reality to this romance.
