LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE A Psychic's Tour of the Afterlife

If you've ever wanted a user's manual to the other side, here it is. World-famous psychic, master hypnotist, and researcher Sylvia Browne raspily delivers the skinny on "Home," or the afterlife, as gleaned from her spirit guide, Francine, and the hypnosis-derived memories of hundreds of her clients. Vocally, Browne is a warts-and-all reader. She has a thick Missouri accent with a three-pack-a-day edge, and she unapologetically shares her information as simply, directly, and comfortingly as possible. That her avowed purpose is to teach and assist is hard to miss, and while some may scoff at her depiction of the afterlife, it's hard not to come away from this with some new and valuable ideas.
