More evidence for life beyond death

This wonderful book adds to my list of spiritual events which serve to bolster my faith-based beliefs that loved ones who have passed are not truly lost to us forever. Miracles of love do happen every day. The Ghostwriter and the Muse is one of them.

For anyone who has suffered a loss

This poignant story of a bereaved mother's attempt to fulfill her son's last request touches the heart and feeds the soul. With humor and pathos, Madeline Westbrook creates a tale of searching, despair, and ultimate triumph over death. Mrs. Westbrook builds her bridge to eternity with courage and determination, and in doing so, she gives all of us hope.

The Ghostwriter and the Muse

The Ghostwriter and the Muse is a touching, beautifully told story and a source of comfort and reassurance to anyone who has lost a loved one. Having recently lost my husband, I had not yet been able to focus enough to enjoy reading novels again, but once I started reading Madeline Maxine Westbrook's book, I was not able to put it down until I had read it from cover to cover. What an inspirational bridge of love there is between mother and son! This mother's son must be smiling down from heaven, seeing what his mother has accomplished on his behalf here on earth---what a very special tribute and memorial to him, and what a special gift for her readers! Thank you to Margery, who was thoughtful enough to share this book with me.

A Most Amazing Journey

I ordered this book because it was written by a congregant at my church. It arrived on a Saturday morning and I did not put it down until I finished reading it late that afternoon. Briefly, it is a story by the mother of a young and successful attorney who afflicted with cancer in the prime of his life. As he nears death, he reveals to his mother a plan to communicate with her after his death and asks her to write a book about the entire exprience. She agrees and is directed to a local university to take writing lessons from a man who was her son's favorite teacher. Because of the family's Scottish heritage, one tool to be used in communication is to be bagpipes, which is also a favorite instrument of the son. Another method is through a local radio station which they both listened to. After her son's death, an amazing series of events and "coincidences" lead her and the family on an incredible quest, from the local cemetary to a pilgrimage to Scotland and finally to a dude ranch in the Texas hill country. This is a story of not only a mother's grief in losing her son, but but of searching for and finding a new hope as doors are opened and new and unexplained experiences bring the family into a closer sense of unity. This book is well worth reading and sharing.

A haunting tale on the power of love

This is a haunting story about loss, dedication, the adventure of writing and the power of love to reach beyond the grave. It makes one question the mystery of coindence. I may never view bagpipe players the same way again.
