My Little Cowboy

My Little Cowboy: My Reincarnation Story (Second Edition)
As a child in the 1950's, Roger was taunted by nightmares and of memories of a life somehow familiar. The memories were oftentimes overwhelming for Roger until one day in 2005, while driving to work; memories of an 1800's life came to him as waking dreams. As soon as Roger wrote these "memories" down (in My Little Cowboy), the taunting (and haunting) memories seemed to subside. This book is the true story of a life that Roger once lived in the 1800's that continued into the 20th century. It is a book about reincarnation.
