ON TOUR WITH MOTHERLESS SOUL

Motherless Soul, by Steve Lindahl is the story of Emily Vinson, a woman whose entire life was
impacted by the loss of her mother when she was 2 years old. At 82
Emily contacts a hypnotist hoping to draw out hidden memories and to
discover as much as possible about the short time she spent with the
woman who gave her life. Glen Wiley, the hypnotist, teaches her more
about herself than she had expected. He helps her bring out memories of
many past lives, including an experience that took place on a smoke
filled battlefield. All of Emily's lives have had the same tragic
outcome, the loss of her mother at a young age. Her soul is caught in
what Glen calls circularity, meaning that the tragedy will occur again
and again unless she can break the pattern. She and Glen must revisit
her past lives and use what they learn to find the other souls who are
part of the circle. They must use the past to change the future.
Emily's stubborn desire to know her mother is realized in intricate and
unsettling ways no one could have imagined possible.

Excerpt (from Chapter Four)

Glen asked her to count backwards from one hundred. When she passed
fifty-nine he started to guide her saying, “Go back, back further to a
time before you were Emily Vinson. Keep going back.” His words seemed
to run right through her body, like a shot of whiskey. Glen seemed to
be growing distant, although she knew he was right next to her. She
kept counting toward zero, even as he spoke.

Emily lost track of the counting. She was certain she’d repeated some numbers, but she
tried to keep them coming. She knew she had to do what Glen told her to
do. She closed her eyes. Shortly after that the dim light she could
make out through her lids faded into absolute darkness.

“You’re slipping through time and space into a place that’s been buried in your
heart for ages upon ages. Something important happened to you in this
place. You’re starting to remember what it was like: the smells, the
sounds, the texture of the world around you.”

Her eyes started to burn. Memories were flowing into her head after a period of
nothingness and those sensations were different from what she’d
experienced the day before. This time it was as if she were two people.
The person she had been before the session began, the old woman nearing
the end of her life, was now watching someone else from inside that
other person’s body. The other person was very young, but in trouble.

“Talk to me, Emily. Let me know what you’re feeling.”

Emily started to cry. She wasn’t able to hold back. Her cry was the loud wail
of a hungry baby. But Emily knew what she felt wasn’t only hunger.
Something was very wrong.

Review: Jen Knox (Author of Musical Chairs)

This is a profound work about the cyclic nature of pain and one woman's
desire to confront it and move on. The story begins with Emily's search
to demystify the mother she never knew, the figure whom she believes to
hold the secret that will break a cycle of discontent. Where this leads
her is on a journey of self-discovery that begins with a trip to a
hypnotist and introduces Emily to generations past. Emily's journey is
filled with realizations that grow exponentially, and ultimately lead
to a philosophical and spiritual awakening. This book is phenomenal.
The chapters are short and engaging, and the writing is fantastic.
