Growing up in southeast England during WWII, Christine Marks experienced her share of hardships, but few were so drastic as to leave indelible marks, unlike the terrible accident that befell her as a young wife and mother.

Gradually though, she overcame the physical impediments the accident visited on her through a combination of acceptance, courage and a latterly found faith in the spiritualist church.

Part memoir, part introduction to the spiritualist faith and its attendant rituals and beliefs, this is the story of a woman's continuing journey into the realms of the universe beyond the purely physical.
