Forgetting Time

This engaging novel relies heavily on the work of Dr. Jim Tucker, author of Life Before Life and Return to Life, both of which explore cases of children who remember past lives. I personally don't believe in life after death and certainly don't believe in reincarnation, and yet . . . it is very hard to come up with any other explanation for the cases Tucker examines.

And in this novel, we have such a case. A boy born in Brooklyn has memories he can't possibly have and his mother turns to a child psychologist who happens to research cases of reincarnation for help in “curing” her son. While the book is a little sentimental for some readers' tastes, it's still fascinating and thought provoking.
