Winged Pharaoh
As a child, the astonishing Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny "Far Memory," the ability to recall past incarnations who had lived in long-ago times and far-flung places. Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives. In Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh's daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of "Winged Pharaoh" for ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a "Winged Pharaoh" - both priestess and Pharaoh - and leads her country with enlightenment. The most famous of Joan Grant's "Far Memory" novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life. Upon Winged Pharaoh's original publication in 1937, the New York Times called it "an unusual book that shines with fire."
Far Memory
"During the last twenty years, seven books of mine have been published as historical novels which to me are biographies of previous lives I have known. Far Memory is the autobiography of my ¬rst thirty years in the twentieth century. From early childhood, often to my extreme discomfort, I was sometimes aware beyond the usual range of the ¬ve senses. I tried to ignore the implications of this awareness, but it was too insistent; so in an attempt to understand what was happening I laboriously trained the faculty of far memory. This book describes, among other things, how I did so and what happened to me as the result. "Far Memory, Joan Grant's autobiography, tells how Winged Pharaoh came to be written. It is a most touching, most amusing, most astonishing real life story." London Daily Express "So fluent, dramatic and now and then humorous is she that her story may captivate even non-believers in extra sensory powers." Publisher's Weekly
U. S. Grant
Grant was the most famous person in America, considered by most citizens to be equal in stature to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Yet today his monuments are rarely visited, his military reputation is overshadowed by that of Robert E. Lee, and his presidency is permanently mired at the bottom of historical rankings. In an insightful blen...

Many Lifetimes
Joan Grant is recognized world wide for her stunning ability to remember the events of previous lives with as much lucidity as an episode from last week. Denys Kelsey, Joan's third husband, was a well-established psychiatrist when they first met. After marrying, they worked together to understand the deeper currents affecting some of Kelsey's patients, based on Joan's insights into past lives. The result is Many Lifetimes.
Life As Carola
HISTORICAL NOVEL? OR ONE OF THE MOST ASTOUNDING AUTOBIOGRAPHIES EVER WRITTEN? The memories of a wanderer in the stormy and licentious era of Renaissance Italy... Carola, the illegitimate child of an Italian nobleman, spent her childhood in a castle near Perugia until the day Fortune cast her into the hostile outer-world of 16th-century Italy. As a member of a group of strolling players, Carola was to gather both harsh experience and gentle wisdom from the strong man Bernard, from the harlot Lucia, from the hunchback-jester Petruchio, and from Sofia, who would be burned as a witch. Finally, when she finds her long-sought peace in love, the freedom she has won carries her triumphantly beyond t...
A Lot to Remember
What happens when a clairvoyant like Joan Grant decides to take a trip through one of the more exotic regions of southern France? She meets wonderful people, endures various perils, and sees hidden dimensions of France no other tourist would ever see. For in addition to the usual sights and sounds, Joan is able to pick up the laments of those who have died in the war -- and put at ease the spirits of people who died violently centuries before. A Lot To Remember is Joan's account of her travels (on two different trips) through the Lot region of France. But it is much, much more as well -- it is a supernatural journey to greater understanding of human life -- and death.
