“What’s a nice Jewish girl who was a very successful ad exec in New York City doing writing novels about reincarnation? To answer that question I have to go back… not that far… but to when I was three years old and at a Seder.

I was three. I didn’t even know what Russia was.
But, my mother later told me, because I don’t remember it, that he never finished the prayer.

I came from a family where there were stories about how the Kabala had driven some of my ancestors mad. I was taught that the Kabala was to be avoided and that gilgul (the Hebrew word for reincarnation) was a superstition.
Yet I have had visions with strong sensory elements about my past life as an Italian sailor who drowned. It explained my extreme ocean phobia.
I think that people will not believe in reincarnation unless they have had some experience with past lives. Then it’s undeniable.
