Cornelia Henry; April 1865: They were Kirk's men and said . . . they intended to kill you. These yankees are at the Murray place on the watch for you. Try to get out of the country tonight. I will not be easy till I know you are gone. May God protect you and watch over you in this trying hour. Stay away from the road. Go way off. I will come to you at Pa's if the yankees stay. Disguise yourself and pass under a fictitious name. Oh yes; leave and try to get out! -- Cornelia Henry's three journals; written between 1861 and 1868; provide an excellent source of information on western North Carolina prior to; during; and following the Civil War; and present us with an intimate and personal glimpse into the lives of a struggling Confederate family. Throughout her writings; Cornelia reveals her innermost thoughts and fears as she describes her daily routines; rumors and news of the war; raids by Union soldiers; occupation of Asheville by Union troops; activities of newly freed slaves; and finally; troublesome times after the war. -- Cornelia Henry; September 1865: The war has broken us up. I can't see how we are to pay our debts and still retain a home. Mr. Henry worries about it a good deal. He is prematurely ten years older in the last eight months . . . I try to cheer him but he is gloomy nearly all the time. I feel so sorry for him. He loves his old homestead so dearly. May God in his love; spare us the trial of giving it up and may we be more prosperous. -- Fear in North Carolina combines Cornelia Henry's journals into a single volume; which is supplemented with additional family letters; documents; and photos. In addition; newspaper advertisements and period photos have been inserted to augment the reader's experience; and to provide historical perspective.

This book is interesting; but no concrete material; just mostly her feelings. I do believe in reincarnation; and my grandfather remember things from past life (no regression); so I believe her story; such as the symbols on her cell phone; but most people will not be convinced.Soul Survivor by Bruce Leininger; or I have Lived Before by Sture Lonnerstrand; or Children Who Remember Previous Lives; by Ian Stevenson; a classic; are much more concrete and convincing.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. If You Died in the Holocaust; Here is Healing HelpBy Penny DuffIf you; like me; have struggled with memories of the death camps; memories of the horror that was Nazi Germany; start with Rabbi Gershom's "Beyond the Ashes" Beyond the Ashes: Cases of Reincarnation from the Holocaust. Then; spend some time with Jewelle St. James' "Jude". These are beginning points for your healing. Then; find yourself a good past life regressionist and go to work. Healing from a life that ended in the death camps is not easy; but living with the unresolved aftermath is worse. While I; myself; have done past life regressions for years; I seek help in dealing with my own memories and experiences from that time.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Reincarnation and Holocaust victims returnedBy Elise Wardle MA PsychotherapistThis is a book which must be read. It is thoroughly readable; gripping and totally informative regarding an individual who remembers her previous life as a young Jewish girl who died at the hands of a Nazi during the Holocaust. For any who have an interest in reincarnation; this is a book to be read; especially if; like many; the reader has any feeling of being a victim (or indeed perpetrator) during WWII and has returned during the 'baby boom' years.An excellent author - I am looking forward to reading her other books of past life memories.
