I read this book years ago and it was so good I still remember it. This was my first book by this author and my first time travel and I've been hooked ever since -- both by the author and the genre!

This is one of Kristin Hannah's first books. It is quite different from the ones I've read so far in that it is a Western type book, but still has the same qualities as her later books. I love all of her books.

read this last night in one sitting, started off where I was getting turned off by the heroine, , actually I didn't like her the whole first half of the book...second half the angst and love between them is very touching, I teared up so the book redeemed itself..ended well and I forgave her for being a female jerk. liked the ending her book "once in every life" is one of my FAVORITE books of all time, this one dosent come close.

The writing is great and it draws you in but the dialogue and scenery is repetitive. By 150 pages in I started skipping paragraphs and just reading highlights.

A sweet love story with a time travel bend. Willingly suspend disbelief and you will enjoy this novel!

A different book for Kristen Hannah - not one of her best - I could figure out what was going to happen at the end

I honestly havent read this yet. It's a time travel book and those dont appeal to me although the author is great.
