Description


Based on a TRUE story: When the unseen collides with the world of the living, the girl with no name awakens to a gift that changes everything. In her twenties, she discovers the ability to tap into her sixth sense — a gift that becomes her most cherished possession. Through it, she reconnects with her brother Gregory she tragically lost. He is more than a guiding presence; he is a messenger, leading souls into her care. Together, they become conduits for spirits longing to give a message to the loved ones they left behind.

At the heart of her journey is a long‑buried mystery — a death wrapped in secrecy. Was it murder or misfortune? As clues surface, one chilling phrase echoes through the pages: Who said FOUND DEAD? And another question rises again and again, whispered by the spirits themselves: Who’s picking me up? Its meaning remains elusive until the dead reveal the truth in their own time.

Years later, the girl makes a life‑altering choice: she moves into a dilapidated 1800s Victorian with her consort, an Old‑World builder with an artisan’s soul. What begins as a simple house flip becomes something far more profound. Beneath the peeling paint and forgotten history is a hidden portal — a passage woven into the very bones of the house, connecting this world to the OTHERSIDE. Spirits slip through and gather in the home’s old speakeasy bar, sharing their stories, their warnings, and their wisdom with the girl who plays the role of the barkeep.

The voices that step forward are anything but silent. From the ghost of the tycoon Leander Stone to beloved PETS, their messages span decades of emotion, mystery, and revelation. {{chills}} Your loved ones are standing by.

Very close to home. I'm nearly finished this amazing book. The author wrote about my family and knew details I had not previously divulged. Since I started this book, I'm confident my brother has reached out to me at least three times. I think this author's gift is to be shared and known to all who want to experience the love of family who have transitioned to the other side. I'm certain I'll be first in line for the second book if one is written. With my love and appreciation for you sharing my family's chapter. Eldest Dorazio Read more
