 Still thinking about how this book affected me... December 10, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is one of those rare books that you wish would continue on after the ending because you've become deeply absorbed in and compassionate about the character's journey of self discovery. There are also captivating lessons about family dynamics, the unfolding and grasping of the meaning of relationships, selfless love and devotion, and the fascinating description of our mysterious existence beyond this physical life.
It is well written and engrossing, flowing easily and unfolding naturally in a compelling manner so that you sincerely become interested in the development and experiences of the characters.
This is one of the best books I've read in such a long time, and I can't help but feel something has changed inside me after reading it. I am looking forward to the author's next book supposedly coming out in Fall 2008, "The Ghost Who Would Not Die," of which I found a description on the author's website.

It was an enjoyable story but I am more interested in how she came up with this information about Aaron's story. Written more like a novel then non fiction.
Excellent book November 19, 2007

Believers and doubters alike will be captivated by Aaron Burke's spellbinding story, as dictated by a 100-year-old ghost to Michigan school teacher and channeler Linda Alice Dewey. It is also a story of heartbreak, remorse, and subsequent success in what many refer to as "crossing over."
Dewey's acquaintance with Aaron's restless spirit began with three visits to an abandoned graveyard. The earthbound Aaron was still mired on the earthly plane, searching for reasons as to why he had not yet ascended to heaven. Fortunately, he found Dewey, who was able to channel his spirit. She soon discovers that Aaron, as a four-year-old Irish child, was kidnapped in the middle of the night by his drunken, abusive father. The pair arrived in Boston in search of relatives and later moved to Chicago, and then to Michigan, where a youthful Aaron escaped his father. Returning to Boston, Aaron became a favorite of his relatives. Here, he learned to read and eventually fell in love, married, and moved to Michigan again to be near his stepmother after the death of his father. But Aaron's apparently happy life was shattered when his wife died after a miscarriage. Believing he was not much better than his father, he abandoned his children and for years, worked at farms and logging camps throughout the northeast and south.
Aaron died at age 35 in an accident, at which point his story moves into his search for heaven. As he searched, Aaron learned that his father had been on the run for killing a man in Ireland, and how cowardly it was to have left his children. As time passed, Aaron became more philosophical. He relays his wisdom through Dewey's intriguing record about the need to treat others with respect, to prepare for the afterlife, to attain inner peace, and to come to grips with one's own failings. Finally, Aaron discovers the secret for crossing over and successfully moves on to the "other side."
Dewey's account of Aaron's lengthy quest to cross over is well worth reading as an example that "death is never the end of the story."
