5.0 out of 5 stars A very convincing case!, July 24, 2000

By	Rabbi Yonassan Gershom (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is one of the most convincing reincarnation cases I've come across in a long time. Jenny Cockell not only had memories of a past life, she actually found her children -- now all grown up -- from that life. This story was featured on a number of U.S. TV programs when the book first came out, featuring both Jenny and the children from that life. Her still-living children, being devout Roman Catholics, do not believe in reincarnation per se, but went on record as saying that somehow, their mother "speaks through" Jenny, and they verified details of her memories.

I met Jenny Cockell at a conference in Oslo, Norway, in 1994 and found her to be totally sincere and quite credible. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Documentary, May 18, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews

This book was fascinating! I have read many books about reincarnation including My Search for Bridie Murphy, The Search for Grace and others. This book by Jenny Cockell was, by far, the best. She is an excellent writer which makes this book a page turner. I couldn't put it down! The facts are astounding. I don't know how anyone could read this and not go away believing in reincarnation. Nothing this author went through could be determined by mere dreams. There is so much more to grasp than someone intrepreting a dream or simply a spirit guide leading Jenny to find the children of Mary Sutton. Jenny WAS Mary Sutton!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Engrossing -- Beautifully Told, December 31, 2000

By	Quiltz "aznurse" (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Many of us experience deja vu, that sense of knowing something or having been somewhere before, even though we know intellectually that we shouldn't or couldn't known or have experienced it. Jenny Cockell not only knew about her "other" family, but invested an immense amount of energy to trace and validate her feelings. After having seen the American made-for-TV movie about this story, I had to read the book... and I was not disappointed.. in fact, the story gripped me from beginning to end.

It is rare to find someone with the degree of passion that Cockell relates, even rarer to find someone willing to go to great lengths to fulfill that passion. Mothers, especially, will understand her sense of responsibility to the children she "knew" in what she believes was her past life. The book is honestly written, emotional, and pure. I would hope she writes more of this journey and the present lives of "her children."

I do believe in reincarnation and psychic phenonomen, and this book strengthened my beliefs as well as providing a delightful and insightful reading experience.
