Once and Again

The women of the Novak family share an astonishing secret: each is born with the power to turn back time, but only once, and only ever once. Lauren has spent her life in the shadow of that gift, knowing her mother, Marcella, used hers years ago to save Lauren's father from a fatal accident, and has lived in fear ever since of the catastrophe she won't be able to undo. Now Lauren's own steady marriage is strained by a difficult fertility journey, and when her husband takes a job out of town, she retreats to her childhood home only to run straight into the first love who once broke her heart. As old choices resurface, Lauren must decide what, if anything, she would change. From Rebecca Serle, the bestselling author of In Five Years, comes a luminous, bittersweet novel about mothers and daughters, marriage, and the roads not taken.
