Summary

In the bestselling tradition of Rosemary Altea and John Edwards comes the memoir of Mary Ann Winkowski, the real life "Ghost Whisperer" and consultant on the Top 30 CBS show "Ghost Whisperer" starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Lights flicker on and off for no good reason. You feel drained and inexplicably irritable. Your four-year-old is scared to enter her bedroom.

Tell these things to Mary Ann Winkowski, and she'll tell you that you have a ghost.

A happily married, devout Catholic, suburban mother and full-time paranormal investigator, Mary Ann Winkowski has been able to see earthbound spirits, spirits that are trapped on earth and haven't "crossed over," since she was a little girl. Mary Ann works with these spirits to help them make peace with what keeps them here - whether it be people they can't let go of or homes they love.

In When Ghosts Speak , Mary Ann will tell the amazing story of growing up with this gift, and will share tips on how to recognize when you're not alone, and what to do if you are in the presence of a ghost.

Library Journal Review

Those familiar with the CBS television series Ghost Whisperer will recognize Winkowski as the show's paranormal investigator and consultant whose stories have provided much of the framework for the series. Winkowski claims she has been seeing and talking to ghosts for more than 50 years, and she views her life work as helping earthbound spirits cross over into the light. Here, she offers insights in prodigious detail into what it's like to communicate with earthbound spirits. Via a compelling combination of journal, insightful wit, and honest soul search, she clarifies the very notion of ghosts and enables readers to explore this subject without the oversimplification or sensationalism often attributed to ghosts in movies. Libraries seeking a variety of titles on the subject of the paranormal can consider adding this resource. Those seeking to recommend a work blending both an understanding of ghosts and real-life encounters-in the vein of Jeff Belanger's Our Haunted Lives: True Life Ghost Encounters and Leslie Rule's Ghosts Among Us: True Stories of Spirit Encounters-will find this a kindred title.-Leroy Hommerding, Ft.
