Query: A joy to read and savor

I am about 2/3 of the way through this wonderful book and I already feel it has had an effect on my views of life, on both sides of the "veil." Not only did I become immediately captivated by the story, but Martha Beck's writing style, with its blend of wit and deadly seriousness, was extremely refreshing. I too have a somewhat offbeat sense of humor, so her descriptions of her in-laws, family of origin and the general nuttty pace of life at Harvard all rang completely true to me. And Beck's style of writing, presenting her paranormal experiences and letting the reader decide how to view them, was like the icing on top of a very satisfying cake, the cake being, of course, her relationship with and love for her beautiful son, both before and after his birth. Thank you, Martha!
