While many may read this and think it made-up, which the author firmly addresses can be the case, her level of detail makes it clear to her clients that what she sees is real. This is truly a wonderful book with many lessons on how to live compassionately. The author often shows her less than compassionate side and describes experiences that bring her to a more loving way of perceiving and behaving. I know that there is something after this life based on my personal experiences. When my grandmother passed, she spoke to all her sisters and brothers who'd gone before; it was obvious she was not alone at death. When my husband's brother was a boy and died momentarily in surgery, he explained to his mother that he'd "seen Grandpa" and "he had legs!"; the last time he'd seen him was in the casket. It's wonderful to think that our loved ones are still nearby in so many ways, that they know we care for them and grieve for them and want us to be happy knowing they are still growing and happy and that we will see them again.
The author's journey to becoming a medium is interesting and she fully shows her own disbelief and doubts throughout the process.
The only detraction would be a slight bit of repetitiveness and focus on the bad things that had happened to her. Perhaps this helps others to hear multiple times how she knows this may seem unbelievable or it may help others to hear over and again the details of the horrors she encountered through her life; perhaps there is a message that "you too can overcome the horrors in your life". But it gave a bit of a victim mentality to the reading which I don't believe the author truly has.
Overall, an interesting read with lots of great stories of people finding peace with their relatives who'd passed from life on the earth plane.
