I enjoyed her work far more when she focused on time travel and not the metaphysical aspects that the hero has in this work. The Yellow Brick Road Gang is not a group that seems supportive and if I were one of its characters, I would find it too far fetched.

I had enjoyed some of Constance O'Day-Flannery's stories in the past but this particular one was, in a word, ridiculous. She needs to stay out of the metaphysical realm because she doesn't do it well at all. There was little character development, particularly between Issy and Joshua. She 'magically' falls in love, which I think is lack of ability to create on the part of Ms. O'Day-Flannery. I am disappointed that I spent that much money on what amounts to crap. I won't be buying any more of her books.

Do you want spiritual help and uplifting? This is the book for you. Ms. O'Day Flannery has tapped into spritual growth that is not seen in writing everyday. This series of books are so enlightening, I gave the book to my husband, who in turn, ordered 6 copies to hand out to friends. If you want to live your life in a different and more fullfilled way spiritually, read this series.

A favorite author. The reason I gave only 4 stars is because everytime I think a book is her best, she always tops it! Outstanding...

I enjoyed the book along with the others. The subject does happen to be one that I am interested in, and I was entertained with the story and how the author developed it. I loved all the characters. Thank you Ms. O'Day-Flannery. Hope there are more to come.

As she nears fifty, widowed therapist Isabel Callaway still misses her late husband although seven lonely years have passed. Only her friends at the Metaphysical Misadventures in the Search for Enlightenment affectionately known as Yellow Brick Road Gang have made it palpable as they search for the metaphysical reason of being though change appears to be the constant.

Her friends insist she attend the Regional Conference for Clinical Hypnotherapists so she agrees to lecture there, After her talk is over, an attendee Joshua comes up to thank her claiming she led an interesting discussion. Though he looks twenty years younger than her, she agrees to see him, which shocks her to her core as she not done anything remotely like this since her husband died. As they see one another, Isabel realizes that her Joshua is her imaginary friend from her childhood who helped her survive trauma back then. He assists her as she reaches out to her patients and becomes her lover, but as she regains her confidence Isabel fears he will leave her again.

TWICE IN A LIFETIME is a complicated romantic fantasy worth the time to read, as Constance O'Day-Flannery provides a profound look at what is reality. The metaphysical discussions make for a complex story line that needs a few days to read and ponder. Though the Yellow Brick Road Gang add support to the heroine and much to the philosophical debate, they are difficult to keep apart from one another as they think therefore they are makes them interchange. Still Ms. O'Day-Flannery's work will receive plenty of kudos as one the most complex thought provoking fantasies of the year.
