A very surprising read... and a good one. May 28, 2008
By Tebes
"Buchlieber"
I was surprised by this book. I went to visit my mother on Vancouver Island. She had been to see a local author do a talk on past-life regression and her trip to South America. She came back with the author's book. She'd just finished it when I arrived and urged me to read it while I was there.
During the visit, the book sat on the coffee table. I'd lounged on the couch, pick up the book, read the first few pages, put it down and then pick it up again. By the second day I was half-way through it. By the time I left, I was finishing it on the way to the ferry.
What I found interesting is the author's description of her travels and how it flows into her memories of her childhood and her past-life regressions. Sometimes the memories of the childhood seem like regressions. It also brought out conversations between my mother and I about her youth. I learned a lot about the generation before mine, the expectations, i.e. marrying young, settling down, the whole 'white-picket' fence hope for a life. There are genuine moments of sadness - the author losing her home to fire because her fraudulent father wanted to collect on it through insurance. Also, Liz Roy's own perspective and compassion for her mother and what she went through... the expectations of that generation, etc...
The book is well written and the chapters are just the right length. At first I wanted it to be just strictly the narrative of her trip, then her childhood, then her regressions. But she integrates them all so well that you flow through the book. Some books you read and you're aware of reading them - mainly because you have to, either for school or because they're a 'classic' and you should read them. Others, like this one, you forget the pages are passing by. Soon enough you look up and a hour has gone by.
The best part was learning about my mother's generation. And also the healing of the author's skin condition. It reminded me of things I had read about in Caroline Myss, that the mind and body are different aspects of the same whole. This book is ideal for just about anybody really. It's a good story, whether you want to learn a little about South America, about reincarnation or about someone's life and how it relates to yours.

Fantastic Journey Sep 12, 2008
By J. Nicholls
"Helga von Bookendorf"
This book was recommended by a friend, and I must say, it was hard to put down. Liz Roy takes you on many journeys - physical, emotional, spiritual - and she does it with style, wit, and empathy. She bravely delves into past and present life experiences that are at times tragic, at times comic. The book made me think and feel beyond our humdrum lives. That is indeed a rarity. Bravo to the author, and I hope we see more books from her!
