Synopsis

All across the globe, small children spontaneously speak of previous lives, beg to be taken "home," pine for mothers and husbands and mistresses from another life, and know things that there seems to be no normal way for them to know. From the moment these children can talk, they speak of people and events from the past—not vague stories of centuries ago, but details of specific, identifiable individuals who may have died just months, weeks, or even hours before the birth of the child in question.

For thirty-seven years, Dr. Ian Stevenson has traveled the world from Lebanon to suburban Virginia investigating and documenting more than 2000 of these past life memory cases. Now, his essentially unknown work is being brought to the mainstream by Tom Shroder, the first journalist to have the privilege of accompanying Dr. Stevenson in his fieldwork. Shroder follows Stevenson into the lives of children and families touched by this phenomenon, changing from skeptic to believer as he comes face-to-face with concrete evidence he cannot discount in this spellbinding and true story.

Goodreads review by D

Interesting. Not compelling. Written by a journalist, in that sort of style journalists write in when they want to sound like a novel.... more details than are relevant, so they are just messy (do I need to remember who this person is? does it matter what food they ate? will it appear relevant later......more

Goodreads review by Robin

First things first: I would like to try and review this book, rather than reviewing the notion of reincarnation, or even the question of whether or not this book changed my views on that subject. I have to admit the book feels a little threadbare at times for lack of more cases, or cases with more gr......more
