It is not surprising that spiritual leaders such as Iyanla Vanzant and Brian Weiss sing high praises for Joel Rothschild's miraculous story. "After 15 years of full blown AIDS, I am one of the longest living survivors in the world," says Rothschild, who chronicles his story of hope, healing, and "signals" from the afterlife in this humbly packaged hardcover.

As a natural-born skeptic, Rothschild never expected that he would begin receiving messages from his deceased friend Albert. Rather, Rothschild expected that he would wither in despair after he discovered the gray, lifeless body of his most cherished friend who was also infected with AIDS. Yet Rothschild could not ignore the "signals" that began to drift into his consciousness, specific words of guidance and support from his friend Albert. In fact, by opening himself up to the possibility of communication with the deceased, Rothschild began to discover that he actually possessed psychic gifts that could help other people in times of need and despondency. This is an archetypal story of how a shattered life can be rebuilt into a journey of inspiration and true meaning. Yet the tender voice of this unpretentious storyteller makes this true story feel highly unique and original. --Gail Hudson
