Publisher's Synopsis
Beginning with the death of her husband, Dan, author and screenwriter Stephanie Riseley tells of her journey in terms both deeply emotional and powerfully physical. A genuinely personal narrative, LOVE FROM BOTH SIDES explores how the concepts of love, bonding and forgiveness transcend the boundaries of life and death. A memoir, memorial and celebration all at once, this book will change how you view the emotional and spiritual relationships you form with the people you love. LOVE FROM BOTH SIDES is funny, real and raw in the way it vividly captures how a rather flawed and quite funny person - who is newly dead - goes through his own progression and growth as he learns to communicate with the wife that he passionately loved, yet sometimes deeply disappointed. Its personal nature coupled with the author's professional perspective gives her experiences a unique immediacy and authority. Stephanie's scepticism leads to mind-bending doubt, which she, as the widow, experiences while becoming her husband's channel, which in turn validates that experience. She then shows how he grudgingly comes to terms with his own boorish behaviour while alive, then makes amends for it before moving on to his next life. Stephanie's experiences, both personal and professional, give her story a validity that no one else can bring to the table in any discussion of what life is like in the In Between.
