Book Cover & Preview Text
Faces and voices, places and events, from the riches of my memories were floating in a soft bubble. Somewhere in my subconscious I knew I was dreaming, but somehow, I didn’t want that bubble to burst. I wanted to spend time with them. I wanted to tell them what has happened here in this world, since they left. I wanted to touch them, laugh with them, cry with them, be with them and never have to say good-bye to them. I’m sure that’s how everyone feels about his or her loved ones who die. Maybe this is a little heavenly sphere I am in right now. It is wonderful to see all of my spirits walk hand in hand. They are all young, but they were young when they died. I like to believe there are no old people in heaven; we are all our young selves. Heaven makes us young again.

About the Book
Faces and voices, places and events, from the riches of my memories were floating in a soft bubble. Somewhere in my subconscious I knew I was dreaming, but somehow, I didn’t want that bubble to burst. I wanted to spend time with them. I wanted to tell them what has happened here in this world, since they left. I’m sure that’s how everyone feels about his or her loved ones who die … Judy first sees Grace when she and her daughter attend as audience members of a television show. Grace is the featured guest, a famous seer who—out of all attendees—calls on Judy and begins relaying messages from Judy’s deceased relatives. Judy is so overcome with emotion that she faints, and so begins a friendship brought together by fate. Both Judy and Grace have been bestowed the gift of clairvoyance. They see and talk to spirits, and they find strength and support. Together, they find excitement, intrigue, and mutual devotion. The people who leave this earth do not leave but forever linger and watch over us. Although these women have lost much, they find hope in this shared truth as they explore the afterlife and grant peace to those in pain.
