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.

First she wrote Across Time and Death, now she takes us into the future...

Jenny Cockell grew up knowing she had lived before. In her first book, the bestselling Across Time and Death, she revealed how she had been haunted by the memories of Mary Sutton, a young Irish woman who had died more than twenty years before Jenny was born. She was compelled to search for the facts and details that eventually confirmed the existence of her past life and led to an emotional reunion with her family.

But Jenny Cockell's extraordinary journey doesn't end there. Past Lives, Future Lives tells the continuing story of the psychic experiences that spurred her to investigate not only other past lives but the future -- as far ahead as the twenty-third century. Her amazingly detailed glimpses of the future are more than merely personal images; they allow her to formulate an overall view of what the future holds for us all -- including a planet much lower in population, but also safer and more pleasant than the world of today. Past Lives, Future Lives presents a fascinating look at the continuity of past, present, and future.

In her honest, warm, and plain-speaking voice, Jenny Cockell writes of the past and the future in a way that is both practical and visionary; she offers inspiration and hope for the world to come.

It is a page-turning account of one woman's journey to find the lives she lived before.
