In MARILYN MONROE RETURNS what started out as a regular psychiatric consultation became an extraordinary journey into the mysteries of reincarnation, culminating in an amazing discovery. The patient, a top-of-the-charts Canadian singer named Sherrie Lea, shares undeniably remarkable similarities with the legendary icon including facial bone structure, handwriting, voice pattern, personality quirks and more. Dr. Finkelstein discusses his extensive, videotaped past-life regressions with Sherrie Lea and solves Marilyn Monroe mysteries that have gone unanswered for decades – including a revelation about how Marilyn really died. “…[This] book reads like a ready-made stage play where the actor's total conviction checks the audience's incredulity. In the first person, Laird relates Norma Jean's childhood experiences, her love affairs and her puzzling death, and works with Finkelstein to accept-rather than overcome or repress-the memories of her past life, which he sees as the only path toward healing…. Finkelstein and Laird must be given credit for their unparalleled take on the life and legacy of Marilyn Monroe.” —Publishers Weekly, July 11, 2006 “Readers who believe in reincarnation and are obsessed with Marilyn Monroe will want to read this book, particularly for the transcripts of the hypnosis sessions during which Laird supposedly reveals memories of Monroe's life and death. Other readers wishing to understand the techniques used to establish the possible validity of past-life experiences will also be intrigued.”
