Publisher Description
In We Are Their Heaven, Allison explores both connection and communication between the living and the dead. Throughout the book, Allison explains her link with the dead and allows those she has read for to share their own experiences with us. They identify the 'calling cards' of the dead, the initial private piece of information that serves to legitimize that the deceased is in fact trying to contact their loved one. Each chapter focuses on a different type of connection and loss: of parents, children, siblings, friends and spouses.
With each reading, Allison's compassion is clearly seen. She explains how the spirit world requires a different sort of 'listening' from her. When you can 'feel' someone near you, she urges that this is not your imagination, but a heightened sense of awareness and what she calls a spiritual encounter. Her account of speaking to a group of parents of murdered children allows us to see that she sees as she walks into the room and finds each of the dead children there with their living parents.
Don't Kiss Them Goodbye was a rewarding book for anyone interested in mediums. With We Are Their Heaven, Allison expands her audience. From a perspective few can offer, she shares heartbreaking and heartwarming tales of connection from the other side and provides comforting proof that our loved ones stay with us long after they are gone. Anyone who has experienced loss will find this book quenches their curiosity and soothes their hearts about those we miss.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dubois, a famous medium (the lead character in the TV show Medium is based on her), assures readers in the introduction to her second book that "there is a heaven, a flawless place where we exist after we die." The details that follow take up only one paragraph, but they constitute a rare occurrence in this book: specific information. For most of the volume, DuBois shirks the kind of careful recording of facts that would go a long way toward convincing skeptics of her talent for bridging the gap between the living and the dead. Full names, dates, and details are all missing in this work, loosely organized around a collection of conversations DuBois has had with the departed relatives of her clients (the consistently positive recollections of her clients are also included). However, their voice and DuBois' are strangely homogenous, revealing little about anyone involved. DuBois tends to repeat the same insights instead of providing specifics to build her case. While her advice to mourners could be useful and lead to genuine healing, there is not much more insight here than in any other well-meaning person's mediation on life and death.
