A mother faces what seems to be an impossible choice. Maria Forssman is living her life at a frantic pace. Tragedy occurs and she finds herself back in time as her seventeen-year-old self. She is not the first to be cast in the role of a "repeater." There are others like Henry and the doctor who comes from Iowa to meet her. They have differing opinions on the choice she has to make. Meanwhile Jennifer Fontaine struggles to adjust to having an empty nest with her son Dean off to college. Husband Hank is away two weeks each month working on an oil rig. This was a fascinating take on the time travel theme. I found it most reminded me of "The Dream Daughter." There would be much to discuss with a book group: motherhood, marriage, destiny, and free will to name a few. Add this one to your list of fascinating books about mothers and travelling in time.
