Once in Every Life by Kristin Hannah

Have you ever thought about Reincarnation? Does it really exist? If you are a believer, you may want to read this book about Tess Gregory and her return to earth. 

Tess was a deaf but brilliant scientist who was killed by a bus and given a chance to come back to earth. Her guide, Carol gives her a chance to choose from a dozen suitable men, yet special candidates that would give her the love ad family she never had in her past life. She selects a man who seems to be experiencing real pain and dark emotions, feelings she herself had experienced in her unhappy past life. 

She arrives back on earth to find herself in another era, the wife of Jack Rafferty who had just died giving birth to his son. Jack is a sheep rancher living on San Juan Island in 1873 and the father of two older daughters.
Tess is challenged by the fact that her new family is afraid of her and they did not know how to communicate or interact with her. She has to find a way to gain their love and the source of the horrors that consume Jack in order to make this family whole again; a most difficult task for Tess. 

One can only wonder if they were returned to earth, what situation they would encounter.
