One day, he falls asleep and wakes up in the body of a different man. He realizes that he can take over the bodies of other people and live their lives. Sheppard Lee goes on a journey through different bodies, experiencing different lives and personalities. However, he soon discovers that this power comes with consequences, as he struggles to find his true identity and purpose in life. The novel explores themes of identity, morality, and the consequences of one's actions.Thus, in a few years, there remained but two of all the eleven children, --to wit, my oldest sister Prudence and myself. My mother (from whom I had my Christian name Sheppard, that being her maiden name) died several years before this last catastrophe, her mind having been affected, and indeed distracted, by so many mournful losses occurring in such rapid succession. She fell into a deep melancholy, and died insane.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
