Description

DON'T YOU REMEMBER? is a fascinating and haunting memoir of a stunning past-life event that began when author George Ella Lyon was five years old, traveling with her family on a trip to Niagara Falls. Many years later this family story hesitantly emerges, and she begins pursuing it (or, as she notes, the story seems to pursue her). Her quest to understand the details and characters of this spiritual mystery becomes a decades-long journey from Harlan County, Kentucky; to Bath, New York; to Llanrwst, Wales. Told with keen eye, open heart and mastery of language, this is a story for past-life believers and non-believers alike, for it is the author's healthy skepticism that keeps this unique story in balance with the reality of her daily life. BOBBIE ANN MASON calls DON'T YOU REMEMBER? "An IRRESISTIBLE story, filled with suspense and wonder." SILAS HOUSE says it is "HAUNTING, thought-provoking, brave ... and maybe even the best book yet from this beloved author." LEE SMITH deems it "ENTHRALLING ... a mystery story of the highest order." And MARY ANN TAYLOR-HALL describes this memoir as "RIVETING ... a penetrating, serious meditation ...." (More info: www.MotesBooks.com.)

Critical Reviews

"George Ella Lyon didn't ask if you believe. She asked if you remember- If you can recall yourself-yourselves. Do You Remember? is a thrilling mashup of mystery and memoir, a shocking detective story that tracks us all across the veil. Lyon inspires even the most cautious reader to imagine that we do not belong only to ourselves. This is a story that reveals the miracle of story. She may not have asked if you believe, but by the end, you will."

-Rebecca Gayle Howell, author of Render: An Apocalypse and American Purgator (Winner of The Sexton Prize)

"Haunting, thought-provoking, brave."

-Silas House, author of Southernmost and Lark Ascending (Winner of the Southern Book Award)

"I consumed [this book] as if it were the deepest, richest chocolate, savoring every page and development, reading and rereading, marveling at your great gift of potent description -- nothing extra, nothing over the top. I was mesmerized. In a swoon. Wanted it to go on forever, keep unfolding forever - which of course, it probably does."

-Naomi Shihab Nye, U.S. Children's Poet Laureate 2019-2022, author of Everything Comes Next: Collected and New Poems
