Summary(blurb): Kate's husband, Luke --the man she loved from the moment she met him twenty-eight years ago-- died suddenly. Since then, she has pushed away her friends and lost her job, and her whole world seems to be falling apart. One day Kate wakes up in the wrong place and in the wrong body. She is eighteen again but remembers everything: This is her college room in 1992. This is the first day of orientation. And this is the day she meets Luke. Now Kate knows how Luke died, and she knows that he's already ill. But this Luke is not the man she lost: he's still a boy —the annoying nineteen-year-old English student she first encountered. If they can fall in love again despite everything, Kate might just be able to save him-but can she fall in love again?
