Life Here and Hereafter

About this book

Friends and relatives who have died appear in communications describing their new surroundings and the gradual lessons of another life. Charlotte E. Dresser records these messages with a strong interest in the continuity of personal relationships.

The volume belongs to a tradition of spiritualist testimony where domestic concerns travel across the imagined boundary of death. The spirit world is described through ordinary exchanges as well as spiritual instruction. Its most affecting passages often return to the simplest question: whether affection survives the loss of a familiar voice.
