I normally don't give much credence to books of this nature as they tend to come across (to me) as the ramblings of nutcases.  That being said, I must confess that I found this book to be different...deeply disturbing yet inspirational.The book is a bit contradictory in that the publisher's disclosure states it is a "work of fiction", yet the author's description and preface say it is a "true account".  Perhaps that is by design, huh?Written in diary form, it tells the tale of a woman deeply affected by depression and other demons; a woman searching desperately for some rational answer to the torment she feels in her body, mind and soul.  She has visions and dreams which disturb her greatly but when she tries to talk to her husband about her troubles, he placates her and pays little attention.  She turns to mediums and psychics for help, and in the course of her quest she uncovers information which opens her eyes to her problems.  Now this is where I usually opt out of any belief in the supposed reality of seers, psychics and mediums...no offense intended, I just don't buy into it.  Well, it seems this woman is able to find perfect examples of everything which should be good in mediums, and through them is able to find an explanation...a reality which suits her needs, and is, therefore, healing.I give this short 4 1/2 stars as there are some editing errors and omissions.  The story is a little spooky, a little crazy, somewhat spiritual and overall...strangely satisfying.Normal, paranormal, abnormal...You decide.
