Description
My granddaughter, Amanda Owen, passed tragically in a horrific car accident at the age of 18. I never thought I would hear her voice again, but six weeks later, I heard her say, "Gram, I'm okay."
From the Other Side, Amanda set me on a journey of discovery: about the afterlife, and about myself. Through my medium, Hazel, Amanda has guided me to share what I have learned through the writing of this book—she was, literally, my ghost writer.
Six years after Amanda left us, I know with certainty she was right—she is okay. That has taken some of the sorrow away. But, I still have a long way to go—the journey my granddaughter has set me on isn't finished yet.

“This is our story, Gram, yours and mine.”
Amanda’s statement, spoken through my psychic medium, Hazel, was the spark that ignited the writing of this book.
The sudden passing of Amanda Owen, my eighteen-year-old granddaughter, in a car accident, turned my life upside down. I had no idea how I was going to move forward with my life; however, I know that when God calls us, we have no choice in the matter.
After my visit with Hazel, and hearing what Amanda had relayed to her, I knew Amanda wanted me to write this book to help anyone who had lost a loved one. She wanted me to share what to look for after they have passed: the little things spirits will do to let you know they are okay. One should be aware of things being moved for no reason; doors that stand open when they should be closed; doorbells that ring, yet no one is there; and the television changing channels on its own. Those are just a few of the occurrences I have experienced, and will share with you.
Although I had various unexplained experiences before Amanda’s death, the shock of her passing seems to have opened me wide to receiving from the Other Side—Amanda has opened a whole new world to me. I have learned so much about the other dimension since she was called away from us; she has shown me that there is life after death. I am on a journey that I would never have believed possible––a trail of discovery.
I am blessed.
