In I’m on Assignment!, Diane Marie Taylor blends spiritual memoir, metaphysical inquiry, and personal testimony into an unconventional exploration of reincarnation, soul mates, karma, cell memories, the Akashic Records, and the hidden continuity she believes links individual lives across centuries. The book moves from practical reflections on life purpose and forgiveness into deeply personal material, including her mental health struggles, her frightening COVID-19 hospitalization, her working-class childhood, motherhood, divorce, and her conviction that past lives, including connections to the House of Bourbon and Marie Antoinette’s world, shape the patterns of the present.

Taylor writes with a startling lack of varnish, and that directness gives the work much of its pulse. Her account of COVID-19, especially the moment she arrives at the emergency room and realizes her body may no longer be under her command, has a raw, lived-in terror that stayed with me. I also appreciated how often humor becomes her lantern in dark rooms. She can move from grief, suicidal ideation, or family pain into a line so earthy and mischievous that the whole page suddenly exhales. That tonal risk may not work for every reader, but for me it made the voice feel unmistakably human, less like a polished lecture on spirituality and more like a long, bracing conversation with someone who has survived enough to stop pretending.

I found the central metaphor of life as an “assignment” genuinely useful, especially in the way it reframes hardship as experience rather than punishment. Her discussions of forgiveness and karma are at their strongest when they turn away from abstraction and toward moral responsibility, urging the reader not to confuse justice with revenge or pain with identity. The historical reincarnation material is the most polarizing part of the book. Taylor’s claims about recognizing souls from the French court, Marie-Thérèse, Diane de Poitiers, and others are presented with conviction, and I found myself reading those sections as a deeply personal spiritual map.

I finished I’m on Assignment! with a sense of having encountered an author who isn’t merely explaining a belief system, but offering the architecture of how she has survived her life. Its sincerity gives it a radiance. I’m on Assignment! is best suited for readers open to metaphysics, reincarnation, Akashic Records work, and spiritually framed memoirs, especially those who appreciate humor braided through pain. It’s an intimate, unruly, and often affecting book, and I’d recommend it to readers who are willing to meet it on its own personal terms.
