The Many Lives of Sarah Hausman is a tale of high hope and dreams gone sour, of love found and love lost. After her death, Sarah Hausman is offered a final opportunity to build and strengthen her character before the final chapter in the Book of Life comes to a close. She accepts the challenges set before her and is reborn as Judith Ann. She’s returning to earth with a mission. Judith Ann must rescue the soul of her former husband, Marcus Agrippa, whom she deeply loved in an earlier life in Ancient Rome. The rewards Sarah gains or loses in her next life on earth will be what she takes with her into eternity.
Many books have been written on the subject of reincarnation, but few as fiction. Janet Dense’s search for the truth behind the mysteries of life began when an acquaintance gave her a book called The Search for Bridie Murphy.
This fueled a life-long quest to study the subject of reincarnation, beginning with the work of Edgar Cayce. However she soon parted company with Cayce and the prevailing notion that a soul must live an endless series of lives in order to reach a level of perfection sufficient to enter heaven. This view precludes a belief in the saving grace of Christ. The many Lives of Sarah Hausman merges Christian doctrine with a belief in reincarnation.
Who among us has not wondered why some are born into lives of good health and luxury, while others begin and end their lives in poverty and adversity? This enigma is explored through the life of seventeen-year-old Sarah Hausman. Born in 1898 in Plymouth, Indiana, she meets and falls in love with Ralph O'Reilly, the older brother of one of her high school classmates. They have a brief love affair, which leaves her unwed and pregnant when Ralph leaves to join the Army.
Sarah follows him to California only to discover he is engaged to someone else. A series of dreams reveal to Sarah that she and Ralph have shared at least four previous lives beginning in Ancient Egypt, then 300 years later in Rome, again as a Scottish maid in the Middle Ages, and finally when they were Mandan Indians in the early 1800’s. After the loss of her baby, Sarah heads to Los Angeles, where she is hired by Mack Sennett of Keystone Studios. A short-lived marriage ends in tragedy when her husband is gunned down by mobsters. The story ends with Sarah standing before the Angelic court as she is given instructions for her new life.
