This book is an exploration of Tom's understandings and work involving past lives. From the preface: "...I do not know if you believe in past lives. Many cultures throughout history have held strong beliefs on this issue, and yet there is much disagreement. There is no equipment to prove if past lives truly exist or not, so there is no way to determine who is right or wrong...I do not need anyone to believe in past lives...I am just writing a true story from my practice, a non-fiction story."(164 pgs).
