Product Description

Product Description

This is the extraordinary story of Jenny Cockell, a young woman from Northamptonshire, who has always known that she has lived before. In her previous life her name was Mary. She was an Irishwoman who died 21 years before Jenny was born leaving several very young children without a mother or a stable, happy home. Yesterday's Children describes the trauma and worry of this continual pastlife memory, and Jenny's decision to search for her lost children. The book follows her progress through her dreams and memories, the revelations of hypnotism, her searches through maps, through local groups in Ireland, and her trip to the village where Mary had lived. Finally, she details her painstaking search for the children (now in their sixties and seventies) who had been split up after Mary's death, and the extraordinary reunions that took place. This is a fascinating book. In many ways it is a real life detective story, as we learn about Jenny, about Mary, her difficult life and finally, with great joy and trepidation, discover what happened to her children.

I first read about the strange story of Jenny Cockell and her search for her past life children in a magazine many years ago and found it fascinating. I did not realize that she had written a book about her experience, until I happened to catch a movie on television that was titled, "Yesterday's Children", starring Jane Seymour. As soon as I saw the film, I realized that it was the story of the woman about whom I had read so many years before. When I saw that the film was based upon a book that she had written about her experience, I immediately ordered it from Amazon.

The book is an intriguing look at the concept of reincarnation. Jenny Cockell's experience would tend to support such a concept. She was haunted ever since she was a child by dreams and fragments of a past life, of Mary, a woman who had died twenty one years before Jenny was born, of children who were Mary's but whom Jenny felt were, nonetheless, her own, of a town in Ireland in which she had lived as Mary. So, when Jenny Cockell was a woman in her thirties, she decided to investigate those memories. Always at the forefront of her mind were thoughts of those children of long ago. What she would discover would give even the most hardened nay-sayer food for thought.

This is a well-written, persuasive account of a past life, as well as the story of a mother's love for her children, a love that would reach across time and transcend temporal reality. For those who discount the concept of reincarnation and think that this is all that there is, I would suggest that they read this book and think again.

For anyone seeking to find a deeper meaning to life, then Jenny Cockell's book is a must read. This well-written and documented account of a past life memory, leaves the reader in no doubt that reincarnation is a certainty. Jenny's story, based on haunting memories from her childhood, is the best piece of evidence I have come across to support the theory of reincarnation. The book, which is fluently written, with plenty of photographs and drawings to support the text, is impossible to put down. The conclusion to this remarkable story, where Jenny is reunited with her family is incredibly moving and leaves the reader utterly convinced that life does not end with physical death. A truly outstanding book in every way.I cannot recommend it enough.
