Dr. Tucker, in a follow-up to his book Life Before Life,
explores American cases of young children who report
memories of previous lives. A first-person account of Jim Tucker's experiences with a
number of extraordinary children with memories of past
lives, Return to Life focuses mostly on American cases,
presenting each family’s story and describing his
investigation. His goal is to determine what happened—what
the child has said, how the parents have reacted, whether
the child’s statements match the life of a particular
deceased person, and whether the child could have learned
such information through normal means. Tucker has found
cases that provide persuasive evidence that some children
do, in fact, possess memories of previous lives. Among others, readers will meet a boy who describes a
previous life on a small island. When Tucker takes him to
that island, he finds that some details eerily match the
boy’s statements and some do not. Another boy points to a
photograph from the 1930s and says he used to be one of the
men in it. Once the laborious efforts to identify that man
are successful, many of the child’s numerous memories are
found to match the details of his life. Soon after his
second birthday, a third boy begins expressing memories of
being a World War II pilot who is eventually identified. Thought-provoking and captivating, Return to Life urges its
readers to think about life after death and reincarnation,
and reflect about their own consciousness and spirituality.
