ONCE IN EVERY LIFE by Kristin Hannah

Official description "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 is a book you can easily lose a few hours in its sweet, non demanding and very ... relaxing i guess. .
Jack and his family is the main attraction... Jack wrapped up in his ptsd loving his children but scared to be a father to them, beaten by his wife, throughout the book all i wanted to do was give him a cuddle... oh and the kids.... Savanna a child forced to act the mother to her baby sister cause their mother was too selfish and nasty and then there was katie a child full of uncertainty... Your so glad that Tess has come into their lives and yet it takes a while for them to accept that Tess is nice..
See a real feel good novel you just want everyone to be happy....
you know for some reason whilst reading this book 'little house on the prairie' came to mind....
Only little nag is the subtle religious notes in the story... but i say subtle... its not in your face, still its there and im not into religion in a big way so i just find it annoying...

Still if your looking for some sachrin sweet romance full of hope and rainbows then read this...
