Synopsis

What if you had the chance to live someone else's life? Full of heart and soul, here is a captivating novel about the choices we make for family and love—and how sometimes a total stranger is the person we really need to be.
 
Jessica Taylor is walking her dog in the rain when she meets the man of her dreams—only to be struck by lightning moments later. When she wakes up in the hospital, the doctors insist she's someone else: Lauren Richardson, wife and mother of four.

    Lauren's husband wants nothing more than for life to get back to normal—complete with a well-organized house and very properly behaved children. But Lauren's kids haven't been allowed to have much fun, and one of them has special needs. Can Jessica embrace this family of strangers and become the wife and mother they need? As she struggles to find her way in this new life—and the way back to her old life—she reconnects with Lauren's estranged sister and discovers a secret that could rip the family apart.

    Now, torn between Lauren's responsibilities to her family and Jessica's chance at love, one woman is about to find out whether the road not taken leads to happiness—or to heartbreak.

BookLender review by Merredith on 2010-12-28 01:06:18

A woman is struck by lightening and wakes up in another woman's body and life, who also had been struck by lightening. every time she goes to sleep, she wakes up in the other life, while that body sleeps when she's not there. she was a single legal secretary, although embarking on a new relationship, and now she has to deal with a husband and four kids. i was really interested to see how she'd deal with living two lives at the same time, and the ending was a bit gift wrapped up, but i liked it anyway. i had the day off from work and it was a quick read, so i ended up reading it in just one day! cute, interesting book, check it out.ps there really isn't sexual content. people have sex but it isnt even really described and it's not a main focus of the book. most books have more content than this. in case you were wondering after reading other reviews..
