<p><a title="When Ghosts Speak Ghost Whisperer" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446581186/theveryfaeryshop" target="_blank"><em><strong>When Ghosts Speak</strong></em></a> is an absolute page turner for those who wanted to know what happens after you die &#8230; which means, this book is a must read for most of us!</p>
<p>I received my copy of <em>When Ghosts Speak</em> as a gift from a friend who said the book literally yelled out to her &#8230; <em>SEND ME TO BOBBIE!</em> Without hesitation, she bought it and shipped it off to me and honestly, when I opened it and began reading &#8230; I didn&#8217;t stop until it was finished.</p>
<p>Mary Ann Winkowski answered some of the nagging questions I&#8217;d been asking for years, and I am forever grateful to her for writing this book; as I&#8217;m sure are many of her readers.</p>
<p>And, I&#8217;m also grateful to Winkowski for setting the record straight as to what is fact and what is fiction with regard to the TV show <em>The Ghost Whisperer</em>, which is loosely based on the life and experiences of Winkowski.</p>
<p>Reading <em>When Ghosts Speak </em>allowed me delve deeply into many of the possible scenarios and circumstances under which ghosts consciously decide to stay earth bound. I wasn&#8217;t too surprised to hear that fear of what awaits them at the pearly gates of judgment is a primary reason for staying put.</p>
<p>Winkowski, while Catholic, isn&#8217;t your typical &#8220;there&#8217;s only one way&#8221; type of theology-minded individual. There&#8217;s just no way that you can have these types of experiences and not grow beyond your own religious ideologies.</p>
<p>I also loved that Winkowski continues to use the family folklore and heed superstitions as passed down through her Italian lineage; keeping the old ways alive. She honors her grandmother&#8217;s memory and her living relatives by using the quince seed charms to keep discarnate spirits from sucking energies from their wearer. Winkowski has a website where you can buy quince charms from her directly.</p>
<p><em>When Ghosts Speak </em>is a very touching series of stories about compassion for souls who find themselves stranded in the wrong side of eternity. Winkowski&#8217;s abilities to see ghosts was fostered by her grandmother at a very early age; would that more families would encourage their children this way. The world would be a lot better off. This is a wonderful lesson for all families on dealing with death.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ultimately a lesson for us all about what to do if we find ourselves haunted. What we should and should not do in an effort to help ourselves stay healthy, while also helping the spirit to cross-over. Winkowski says learn to make the white light or direct the ghosts to the nearest funeral home where the recently dead will have white light for them to pass over through. Brilliant! I&#8217;d never thought of it.</p>
<p>Personally, I loved this book so much that I went out and bought a copy for my best friend. I can hardly wait for her to read it so we can discuss it together. As for my copy, I find myself continuing to carry it around the house. I&#8217;ll most likely reread it &#8230; it&#8217;s just that fascinating.
