From Amazon: Born in the British Midlands in the 1960’s to abusive parents, Alexandra assumed there was no way out of the living hell that was her childhood. Raised by a mother, father and later stepfather who were later prosecuted for their child cruelty, Alexandra unwittingly discovered the spirit world, initially as a means of escape to avoid the horror of her formative years. Not realising until she was in her early twenties that her experiences were far from ordinary, she then began a personal quest to discover more about the after-life, direct from the source. In particular, why and how the departed had chosen to save her life and make themselves such an everyday, integral part of it. An up front and brutally honest account of forty eight years of living with spirit; why it is not a party trick and the cautionary tale of how uneducated dabbling in the spirit world almost destroyed her as much as it had saved her. Alexandra tells the often tragic and sometimes hilarious true story of her interactions with those she refers to as ‘the Others,’ and why it is vitally important we all understand the real reason they communicate with the living and the effect they have on the choices we make.
