Sisters, Long Ago

I think I read this book when I was about 12 (I'm now 21) and I have to say that it was a very awe inspiring book. I didn't know much about reincarnation before this book, but the book isn't (in it's story) really about reincarnation. What I mean is... it's more about learning to deal with loss, and learning how to cope and have faith in whatever you choose to. I also vividly remember this book having almost a sci-fi sort of feel to it while it kept me guessing on why she was having these "visions/dreams" of a past life. This book truly influenced my young adult reading experince almost as much as "A Wrinkle in Time" did. I think it's educational while not trying to force any ideals/beliefs on you. Also, it's sure to keep the reader entertained. This book has heart, mystery and education all in one... what more could you want?

This book is about two girls that really think they know each other, but they're not sure. Then one girl goes to a place in the library and finds out that they were sisters long ago. So the sisters meet at the restaurant and tell each other, but the other thinks she's crazy. So she wants to stop thinking about it, but she can't. I love this book so much that my mom had to drag me to bed. The book was the first thing that popped into my head. I know that I'm bragging, but this book is great! I think it's the best book I've ever read. If you think you've read the best, then take that back and read Sisters, Long Ago.

Sisters, Long Ago is a wonderful novel by Peg Kehret. Willow, a teenager with a sister struggling through lukemia, has strange dreams of her past self and begins to take them seriously. Sisters, Long Ago kept me interested until the very end and I recommend it to readers of all age. The story is much deeper than reincarnation; it's about accepting people for who they are, learning and growing up, and much much more. You don't know how good it is until you read it!

I bought this book when it was first published, and it served as my first real exposure to reincarnation. The book is very intriguing and covers the topic in a realistic way: reincarnation workshops, skeptics, dreams, etc. The sub plots also keep you reading until the last page. This book literally opened up new worlds to me, and I hope it does the same for you!

I think that this book is good for people who do and don't believe in re-incarnation. That's not really what the whole book is about even though it is a main part of the story. If you like fantasy books and books about ancient times this is a really good book for you because it gives you both. After reading this book I feel that it is very well written. It gives you hope and allows you to look at things in a different way. I am not just saying this because she is related to me. I really enjoyed this book and it has become one of my favorites that she has written.
