Publisher's Synopsis
A sincere and honest account of how the author became the recipient of messages by automatic writing, apparently from a recently deceased friend. She tells of her bewilderment at these completely puzzling and unsought phenomena, and after much hesitation her final acceptance of the experience. A reluctant medium, Grace Rosher was dedicated in her attempts to evaluate as objectively as she could the genuineness of the communications she has received. Including the evidence of a graphologist who pronounced the written scripts free of forgery and conscious manipulation, this is an unusually well documented case. Pioneering is uncomfortable - especially so when it is thrust upon a reluctant performer as a duty. I know Grace Rosher. ... I know her disinclination to be caught-up in an activity so foreign to what she deemed to be inappropriate to herself. She had, and still has, a 'constitutional' resistance to the exploitation - or even the exploration - of life beyond death. Grace Rosher is no scientist: she has no curiosity of that kind. Her religious faith made psychical experience unnecessary - indeed, repugnant, because it was 'against the rules'. Circumstances have driven her to become a reflective and cautious spiritist. From the Foreword by Sir Victor Goddard, K.C.B., C.B.E., M.A.
