Summary: Once In Every Life
Review: Tess Gregory's death brings her reincarnation as wife to Civil War veteran Jack Rafferty. Jack, victim to post-traumatic shock from bloody death of brother, thinks he is insane. 1873 San Juan Island, Washington state is far cry from 1993 for Tess to begin life anew with husband, family and farm. This was the first book by Kristin Hannah I had read. A very good story. Marilyn, The Regency Lover's Cafe

Summary: A sweet story, but with a fatal flaw
Review: The fatal flaw in this novel is the heroine - on the back cover she is described as "a brilliant research scientist". Why, then, does she turn into the epitome of a prarie wife with no greater pleasure than learning to master cooking on a wood-burning stove? The hero's 12 year old daughter was doing the cooking before....how could a woman who is educated and intelligent be content in a cabin with no books, no intellectual life whatsoever and no one to really converse with? How could she possibly be happy doing chores a 12 year old child can do????

Summary: Get ready to be transformed into this book.
Review: This is the first time travel novel that actually has made me feel as if I am in the shoes of the main character. You feel the pain, longing, tears, and joy of each person in this story. I have read this book eight times and I share it with my friends, old and new. I absolutely love Kristin Hannah and the wonderful stories that she creates. I don't hesitate to pick up one of her new releases and head straight to the check-out before I've even read what the story is about.

Summary: A GOOD BOOK
Review: This was a good book, and I could often put myself in the role of the characters. ..Not the best I have ever read. .but ok. ..If you want to read a book that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift! This book was edited by Lupus specialist Dr. Matt Morrow too, and has the latest information on that disease. ..A perfect gift for someone who started college late in life, fell in love too late in life, is living with any illness, or trying to understand a loved one who is. . .A gift to be cherished forever.
