Letters from the Afterlife: A Guide to the Other Side

by Elsa Barker

Overview

Does life go on beyond the grave? A growing body of evidence suggests that it does. Written through the hand of Elsa Barker, an established author in her own right, Letters from the Light presents a kind of "astral travelogue" that describes—often eloquently, sometimes humorously—life in the "invisible" world.
