"This is a very accurate portrayal of Near-Death Experiences, prior-life memories in children, regressions into past life memories, and connections with souls on the other side, all in a fun story of a collective group of otherwise unrelated characters as they investigate and discover their shared pasts from a couple centuries before. This approach adds a wonderful, fascinating dimension to storytelling, all based upon well-researched aspects of consciousness." -David LaMotte, who has led a study group on NDEs and Reincarnation for 20 years, teaches a course on NDEs and Consciousness Studies at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. On the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1720, a man murders an enslaved 16 year old boy by piercing his heart with a knife. In the 1970's this man returns as the heart surgeon who saves the life of that boy, now a man. We learn of the many connections between these two men, their families and all the lives in between.
