This book is a thrilling romance adventure from the 17th century.  But it’s also billed as a true story.  Jenny Smedley’s life was changed in the second that she recognized a past life soul-mate in American Country music singer, Garth Brooks.  Under hypnosis, she began to recall the life they shared together in the 1600s as Madeleine and Ryan Fitzgerald.  Memories came tumbling back, and she wrote this astonishing tale of love, sacrifice, murder, death, and renewal.  She later found many points of confirmation of her story.  And in the process, she went from a depressed, overweight, suicidal woman to become a successful songwriter, author, radio celebrity, newspaper columnist, and TV presenter.
In this delightful love story, we find ourselves face to face with the spiritual principle of reincarnation. Across the globe, millions of people believe that we will return to this planet to live another life through one spiritual belief or another. From the ancient Egyptians to the modern Hindus, the roots of this belief are solid. And the message of reincarnation contains some spectacular messages full of surprising truths
Have you ever found yourself in another country, or another place, that you’ve never been before, and yet it seemed so familiar  -- but how could that be so?  This is a common occurrence in that probably everyone has had that happen at some point. Some believe this kind of event is part of the proof of reincarnation.  Even more interesting is when we meet someone, and we feel as if we already know them, or that we’ve met before. That’s especially true when it’s “love at first sight,” or when we have the feeling that it’s a soul-mate. It can’t be explained rationally, but we feel it so strongly that it can lead to the belief that we have known this person in a former life. That’s the story that the author tells here, and almost any reader will be able to identify with such a love story.
Often, couples (husband and wife or other kinds of partners and relationships) come to me for sessions in my office. They have no doubt when I see it and tell them my intuition reveals that they have known each other in a former life. They confirm that their own intuition has told them the same thing!  It’s a strong feeling, a strong connection with something deep in our soul when we have this feeling. There is no mistaking it; there is no “maybe” about it.  With good intuition, you develop a high level of consciousness through the third eye.

You can develop your intuition by practicing meditation. Simply sit with yourself and get still. Make your inner voices go quiet. Here’s a helpful hint from a well-known Buddhist technique: while you sit still, smile. Make the smile expand.  Feel the smile, inside and out. It’s called, “smile with your heart, smile with your soul.”  (There is a lot of smiling and even laughing in Buddhist spirituality.) When you concentrate on smiling so thoroughly, everything else falls by the wayside,  then you can better “hear” your own intuition.
The author used hypnosis to aid her to recall the life she shared with present-day Garth Brooks. How extraordinary to find one another again after so many eons of time have passed, and in such different circumstances!
This book also touches on the universal law of karma. All of our acts have consequence. When we incur negative karma, we come back (reincarnation) until our soul works out our karmic debt from our acts. It is all about evolving spiritually: birth, death, and rebirth. When we are reborn to work out our karma, only the memories are lost to our conscious mind. When we consciously strive to evolve, we can begin to undo the knots of the suffering that this earthly life brings. Finally, we learn to walk the path of happiness.
There is the infinity of space and the eternity of time, yet we can access things that are outside of space and time. This story highlights how gratitude and the classic spiritual triangle of spirit, love, and positive action aid our spiritual evolution. The author concentrated on an attitude of gratitude when she was discovering her past life. When we recognize our inner treasure, no one can take that away from us. Each has a unique path, but our paths eventually lead to the same universal soul and universal love.
Every human possesses a soul that has the supernatural power to recognize other souls and to communicate with other souls. The author had a genuine and amazing, supernatural experience, the magic of reincarnation. She also had the exceptional grace to discover her reincarnation with her soul-mate Garth Brooks.  I recommend this book to all readers, because it proves that love conquers all.  May each of you find your soul-mate!
