Synopsis

The compelling and heartwarming story of a young baseball prodigy who began sharing vivid memories of being famed American baseball player Lou Gehrig.

At the tender age of two, baseball prodigy Christian Haupt began sharing vivid memories of being a baseball player in the 1920s and '30s. From riding cross-country on trains, to his fierce rivalry with Babe Ruth, Christian described historical facts about the life of American hero and baseball legend Lou Gehrig that he could not have possibly known at the time.
Distraught by her son's uncanny revelations, Christian's mother, Cathy, embarked on a sacred journey of discovery that would shake her beliefs to the core and forever change her views on life and death.
In this compelling and heartwarming memoir, Cathy Byrd shares her remarkable experiences, the lessons she learned as she searched to find answers to this great mystery, and a story of healing in the lives of these intertwined souls.
The Boy Who Knew Too Much will inspire even the greatest skeptics to consider the possibility that love never dies.

Goodreads review by Tracy on April 27, 2017

This was an interesting book and I do believe in past lives, however, I found Cathy Byrd to be a media whore. I thought the parts about her son's talent and past life fascinating, but the shift to the self-centered, me me me and constant name dropping highly annoying.......more

Goodreads review by Kim on July 22, 2017

Had this book actually been about a boy who shared unbelievable details about a famous baseball player who lived a century ago, I would have rated this higher. Those small portions of the book, and the information given by the doctors who work in this field, were quite interesting. I kept hoping the......more

Goodreads review by Donica Fletcher on March 26, 2017

Not so much about a boy. I felt this story was a thinly veiled story about Cathy. It would appear she had plenty of opportunity to gather info about sport figures.

Goodreads review by Carolyn on August 12, 2017

I really don't even know how to rate or review this. I liked the parts about past life regression in regards to Christian. They were just parts. But his mother's constant name dropping, battle with religion, self promotion, and supposed past life connection with Lou Gherig's mother. She writes her h......more

Goodreads review by Samyann on March 27, 2019

The full title of this book is The Boy Who Knew Too Much: An Astounding True Story of a Young Boy’s Past-Life Memories - a bit misleading in that much of the book details the past-life memories of Cathy Byrd, the author of this book and the mother of the ‘young boy’. The book is non-fiction, ergo a f......more

Quotes

"Byrd’s memoir almost reads like a suspenseful novel, and readers are sure to be gripped by the possible explanations she provides for (her son’s) seemingly inexplicable memories. She also thoughtfully reflects on her own spirituality, and the ways in which her son’s revelations challenged her Christian faith . . . On the whole, this is an affecting portrayal of parenthood, and an affectionate love letter from a mother to her unusual child. An eclectic mix of mystery, memoir, and the supernatural."
