Once in Every Life: A Novel Review: Sweet Story - Heart warming, funny and well written. Review: Once in every career - 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 simply gorgeous. I cried a bucket and laughed out loud. Kristin Hannah's novels so far have been some of the most enjoyable, intelligent novels I have ever read. With Once In Every Life, taking the lead by just a heartbeat of 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 wife circa 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 to help 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 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,628 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #66 in Time Travel Romances #5,245 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #9,764 in Genre Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (865) | | Dimensions | 4.2 x 0.9 x 6.8 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0449148386 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0449148389 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | December 23, 1992 | | Publisher | Ballantine Books | ## Images ![Once in Every Life: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yXhBHGMYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Story *by B***A on July 27, 2025* Heart warming, funny and well written. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once in every career *by J***E on August 13, 2006* a writer puts together a "Once In Every Life."
