Keeps coming back to mind like a dream. Wont go away. You read about the phenomenon, and you wonder if it is really possible that you have flashbacks to a life you had lived before. Nahhh! But you search for answers. You read about therapists who claim, when they use hypnosis to probe into patients subconscious for causes of emotional problems, that often they regress to previous life. Sometimes they speak in a different voice and tongue, and are instructed to speak English. Is this possible? Can you believe what these therapists claim? More than forty years ago, Mr. Socha read a book, \u0026amp;quote;The Search for Bridey Murphy\u0026amp;quote; by Morey Bernstein, an amateur hypnotist. It was about a Colorado woman who was hypnotized who talked about a life she lived in the 1700s in Cork, Ireland. Her name was Bridey Murphy. The book created a sensation, but reincarnation in the 1950s in America was considered too far out and not to be taken seriously. The books popularity diminished, and it is out of print, although used bookstores grab all the copies they can get their hands on because people continue asking about it and copies do not stay on the shelves very long. The author, C. Joseph Socha, could not forget about Bridey. The question, \u0026amp;quote;What if?\u0026amp;quote; persisted. Imagine what it would be like to listen in as a therapist, who hypnotizes a patient, is suddenly talking to an entity in another lifetime and is witnessing a famous historical scene: Ancient Rome, the Napoleonic Wars, moments of our Revolutionary War. An exciting idea! You have an observer there, now. You communicate with him. Tell me what you see? What is happening? That is how \u0026amp;quote;Promise\u0026amp;quote; began. Socha picked a historical period to write about. He researched that period meticulously for details that matched accurately what we know of that period from our history books today. He leafed through hundreds of yellowed, aged pages of historical manuscripts. He examined illustrations. He had to feel that he was actually there to write realistically. And what about the therapist? How did he become one? What did he experience the first time in a therapy session that he encountered an entity in a previous lifetime? Did he always believe in reincarnation? If not, did it shock him the first time he was exposed to an actual regression case? How did he hypnotize? How about a case history that he could share with the writer? These were questions that Socha, the writer, struggled with. He had to know. How else could he write about it realistically? The reader of \u0026amp;quote;Promise\u0026amp;quote; will often wonder, \u0026amp;quote;Hey. Is this stuff fact or fiction?\u0026amp;quote; It is fiction, but the copy reads like an article, like reporting facts, accurate details about the period and the surroundings of that historical moment. Like providing mental snapshots of a moment. VISUAL writing. Something the author learned while working in the audio-visual production industry. The picture was all-important, but in a novel, no actual pictures are provided. So the writer produces descriptive movement. You see what he sees and feel what takes place. You can read the story aloud to someone and they will see in their own mind what is happening; like watching a movie or TV play. The period in history that the story about is especially important to people who live in the Detroit area. They have often walked the location, sat beside the Detroit River, sensing its emotion calming effect. And standing before the Pontchartrain Hotel that sits on the site that once was Fort Detroit, if he has any imagination at all, cant he feel how it was long ago, when not this tall modern building stood before him, but in his imagination, the old Fort Detroit is there. And surrounding the Fort is the frontier. What was it like? What did it actually look like? Who lived in that Fort? You want to meet these people, desperately, because you feel the importance.

Please click to read more reviews for this book.A timely mystery that hits a sweet spot, April 2, 2006Reviewer: Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)J.P. Cardone writes educational video programs and interactive CD-ROMs, and his company, Hospital Video Network, serves hospitals in New York. John presently lives in Long Island, New York, and is married with two children, who are now young adults and are pursuing careers. Dr. Elaine Edwards is beginning her medical career as Director of the Golden Shores Nursing Home. Because of a loving relative, Elaine has a deep understanding of the hardship of \u0026amp;quote;the golden years\u0026amp;quote; and is determined to take Golden Shores to a new level of service. But as she arrives for her first day of work, she is faced with two patient deaths and the murder of a health care worker. Something is amiss, and Dr. Edwards quickly becomes the target of murderous thugs intent on keeping the secrets of Golden Shores from prying eyes. Elaine quickly realizes she is over her head, and enlists the aid of an ex-cop named Henry Monroe whose brother was one of the murder victims: \u0026amp;quote;Then it hit her. There was one cop who could help. That person was an ex-detective with an interest in this. She forced herself to remember the forms. Seeing the Monroe name, her memory recalled the information on next of kin having a Lower East Side address. Yep, she thought, she would ask Henry Monroe for help.\u0026amp;quote; WITHOUT CONSENT is a fast-paced, eminently readable thriller that keeps the reader turning page after page as Elaine journeys from innocent new staff medical director to hunted victim. It seems there is no end to the possible abuses of the pharmaceutical industry, and those in the know have created an entirely new genre of medical mysteries to keep us all on the edge of our seats and wondering about that next prescription we need filled. J.P. Cardone writes convincingly and well. Elaine is a likable, if somewhat naive, character who is forced to come to terms with the thugs around her. She rises to the occasion admirably and unlocks the key to not only the murders at the nursing home, but uncovers the big picture as well. WITHOUT CONSENT is a timely mystery that hits a sweet spot. J.P. Cardone should be proud of his first effort. He is a clear and effective writer. Shelley Glodowski Senior Reviewer Also by J. P. Cardone...

Get your butt behind me and run! Weve got to make it to the house, Gino. With that desperate plea, Sophia, a young and talented puppeteer, chides and hastens her youthful flautist-companion, Gino, to run for home and safety. They must escape the German landmines about to destroy the heart of Florence. It is August of 1944. The Germans are losing World War II, but angry at Italys surrender and negotiated alliance with the Allies, their withdrawals from Italy become hot rakes of needless destruction, aided by fervent neo-Fascists propped up by Hitler-backed Mussolini. The withdrawing Wehrmacht destroys many villages and towns, loots artworks and continues to conscript workers, deport Jews and jail or murder defectors. The stage is set for tensions at every level: between German and Allied military forces; between partisans and liberals in Italy and Spain and neo-Fascists across Europe; between Communist\/Socialist parties and conservative Roman Catholic support of Fascism in Italy and Spain; between starving Italian women and children and occupying armies; and between Jews who hide and struggle to survive and those who support the Nazi final solution. On the August night the departing German Wehrmacht activates its landmines and destroys many magnificent renaissance buildings and Arno River bridges in Florence, Sophia, a brilliant puppeteer whose family has for generations operated a famous marionette theater, and her flautist, Gino, a refugee youth she befriends, hide in her cellar. They survive the night of terrifying explosions, although the mines destroy much of the back wall of their house. Their home is damaged and unsafe, and Sophia who has used marionettes as cover when acting as a courier for the partisans in a local cafe must flee. Gino, a young and strong adolescent must leave with her in order to escape German labor camp conscriptions. The partial destruction of the back wall of Sophias house reveals a hidden storeroom they think was once an old wine cellar. Searching for things to take with them or trade on the black market, they force open an old trunk and discover an ancient manuscript, some gold ducats, a few not-too-valuable gemstones and a roll of drawings Sophia thinks are backdrops for their stage. She reasons they were discarded with unused, exotic porcelain marionette parts and old scripts. Sophia and Gino realize they must survive alone and without family support. Sophias father is a conscripted worker, and her brothers are soldiers in different armies: one in Italy, and an older brother, Achille, who disappeared from his International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War. Ginos parents died during bombing raids, and Sophia has promised to care for and protect him. Rather than hide and risk discovery or death, they decide to make their way to Barcelona to find Sophias older brother. Their identification papers and ration cards are buried by debris, and they escape with a few articles of clothing, several marionettes, a folding traveling stage, and selected items from those discovered in the newly revealed storeroom: a mysterious, ancient manuscript they later learn is the memoir of a thirteenth century trading trip through the middle east to South China made before Marco Polo by a Jewish merchant from Ancona; gold ducats that prove basic to survival; and the roll of renaissance drawings that later prove to be valuable for the renovation of their lives. Much of the plot turns on the odd fact that the thirteenth century merchant who wrote the memoir-manuscript has the same family name as Sophia. Moreover, its cover page bears the signature of Sophias father (among many others) and includes a written charge to care for the manuscript and related objects. They cannot leave it behind. Who was this merchant who bore the same family name? An ancestor?

Thirteen-year-old Jacques Maillet, protagonist of this true adventure story, immediately joins up. He and his orphaned friends are given military training, and then sent off on ships for the New World.At the fort, he is sent to live with a French family, the Heberts, who grow to like him and teach him ways to help with their farm labors. At the fort, Jacques meets Paul, a Native American boy his age. The Micmac Indian boy was named Paul by the Roman Catholic missionaries after evangelizing and baptizing him, keeping with the traditions of naming boys after Roman Catholic saints. Paul and Jacques became best of friends after Jacques interest in the ways of Pauls tribe, the Micmacs, who spend the warm months of the year by the Annapolis River near the fort.In the fall, when the harvest is in, Jacques is given permission to live with Paul and his family in their winter quarters deep in the woods. He learns their language, beliefs and skills. In the spring, he returns to his duties in the fort and the Hebert home. There, his fondness for one of the Hebert daughters, Magdelaine, begins. He spends another winter with the Micmacs, learning everything he can about survival in the wilderness. The next summer he is back soldiering in the under-manned fort at Port Royal when the British launch a massive attack. The boy soldiers fight valiantly, but after a week of naval bombardment, the fort surrenders.Conditions of surrender call for the return of the French soldiers, including the boys, to France. By this time, Jacques has fallen in love with his new life and does not want to leave. Disguised as an Indian, he slips away.Years pass and Jacques slowly grows toward manhood. On a fishing expedition on the Bay of Fundy, his party of a dozen Micmacs is attacked by Kennebec Indians, and only he and Paul survive. When they return to tell the story, the Micmacs seek revenge. They pillage a Kennebec village and Jacques is rewarded with many animal pelts, which he brings back to Port Royal and trades for British goods that are highly desired by the Micmacs. He prospers, and winds up one of the wealthiest men in the area.Hanging over everyones head is the uncertain fate of the French settlers in Nova Scotia, which has now become British. The British know the French will never make good English subjects and they would like to expel them and take their lands, but they also need the skills and produce of these hardy and experience settlers in order for their colony to exist. A large problem is the Indians: the Micmac hate the British and do not want the Acadians, their old French friends, to leave. The Acadians are caught in a vice and the pressure mounts.In spite of this, Jacques courts and marries Magdelaine and builds her a fine house on ten acres of land obtained from her father. She becomes interested in his Indian skills and wants to meet the Micmacs. The following spring, the young couple goes to live with Pauls family in their teepee in the woods, where Jacques learns, from Pauls mother, the reason his wife is feeling ill every morning.Refusing to sign an oath of allegiance to the Crown of England, the French settlers are hounded and persecuted. In spite of the tensions between the French and English, Jacques and Magdelaine, bring thirteen children into the world.
