Every reader will be able to relate to this beautifully written memoir. Helen was always almost afraid of living, knowing that a dark void of oblivion was waiting for her, her family and beloved pets in the end. Having rejected religion, thinking mediums were fraudulent and with no comforting belief system, she often felt terrified.
Everything changed when she watched Beryl the hamster's soul leave its body in a gentle golden mist. After that, paranormal experiences came thick and fast. Was she going crazy, was it all nonsense? She began to accept a new reality but was now afraid of what others would think of her.
Gradually, undeniable messages came from animal and human spirits, even an encounter with angels. She had to accept that she'd been wrong her whole life and was able to let go of all her fears. Even when she collapsed with heart failure, she found herself free to face the danger with hope and courage.
