Book Reviews of We Are Their Heaven : Why the Dead Never Leave Us

Dubois, a famous medium (the lead character in the TV show Medium is based on her), assures readers in the introduction to her second book that "there is a heaven, a flawless place where we exist after we die." The details that follow take up only one paragraph, but they constitute a rare occurrence in this book: specific information. For most of the volume, DuBois shirks the kind of careful recording of facts that would go a long way toward convincing skeptics of her talent for bridging the gap between the living and the dead. Full names, dates, and details are all missing in this work, loosely organized around a collection of conversations DuBois has had with the departed relatives of her clients (the consistently positive recollections of her clients are also included). However, their voice and DuBois' are strangely homogenous, revealing little about anyone involved. DuBois tends to repeat the same insights instead of providing specifics to build her case. While her advice to mourners could be useful and lead to genuine healing, there is not much more insight here than in any other well-meaning person's meditation on life and death.

This book was far better organized than her first book and equally as interesting. Dubois did an excellent job this time of very clearly communicating some very poignant and insightful things that she had learned from some of her readings. I especially like that she included different perspectives from her family as well as those that she performed readings on.

interesting - I've enjoyed the TV show & this serves as the background

I thought this book was very enlightening.

I have read books by many different famous mediums. Allison is unique amongst them. Her style is very down to earth, if it's possible to say that about someone who "see's dead people" lol But really, she is compassionate, honest, kind, intelligent, and she tells it like it is. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in mediums and the afterlife. In this book she also talks about how important it is to live your life the best way you know how and not to dwell on your sadness over losing loved ones.
In discussing communicating with our loved ones on the other side, she recommends that we just speak to them as though they were right there, because even though most of us can not hear or see them, they are here and can see and hear us. I give this book a five star rating.
