Altea, a medium and healer whose best-selling The Eagle and the Rose (1995) chronicled her life, here focuses on some of her most illuminating cases as well as her personal reactions to them. Rather surprisingly, she begins with disclosures of her own struggles with loneliness and negative emotions. They also deal deeply with sadness as people try to make contact with loved ones who have died--of illness, from accidents, even as victims of terrorism on 9/11.
