I just love Kristin Hannah. This is the third book by her that I've written about on the blog. This one has an unusual premise. Tessa is killed in a bus accident at the beginning of the book. She is offered a second chance at love by an angel and is transported into the body of a woman who died in childbirth in the pioneer west. This woman was not a very loving person. She felt that her husband's "cowardice" during the Civil War ruined her chance at a comfortable life as a Southern belle. After Tessa is "reborn" into this woman's body, the family has to come to terms with the "new and improved" wife/mother. There's a lot of initial distrust, and a surprising "based on a true story" mystery at the end. Hannah just writes emotional stuff really well. I get so wrapped up in the characters!
