FICTION (or is it!?)

Synopsis - The People Upstairs. 14 Chapters, BOOK COMPLETED

A serious car accident sends Jessica into a coma. As she lies in a hospital intensive care bed, she has a vivid dream. Finding herself in an exquisite garden she wonders if she has died and gone to heaven.

A lady appears and explains to Jessica that she has been brought to this place to experience some special healing and to meet people who will encourage her to unburden her resentments and anger. The Cathedral of Healing is something Jessica has never experienced in her life, it is truly breathtaking. The meeting with three wise men, who claim to have walked in close proximity to her earthly life, helps her to identify her special pychic powers.

She is then taken to a picturesque cottage where her entire family, who have passed ahead of her, are waiting to greet her. Over a sentimental reunion they catch up on many years of special family memories.

This is a priviledged insight into the place where we all go to when our journey on earth is over. The journey is called Astral travelling. Jessica has many surprises during this unique experience, and returns to her physical body refreshed, uplifted and ready to tell the people on earth just what she has experienced.

Because Jessica has suffered such a great emotional trauma it takes days to go through the fantastic events. Jessica is amazed at the wisdom of the responses to her various questions, with no judgements just simple explanations, making it clear that we are each our own judge and jury.

Five years later Jessica is fully recovered from her accident and visits an old friend in Australia. Samantha lives totally alone in a rain forest - the place that Samantha calls 'paradise' is the nearest place to Astral Travelling that Jessica has ever seen. Samantha seems keen to take over where the three wise men left off. She suggests a visit to her worldly wise neighbour, Margo, who lives on top of the mountain. The three women discuss Jessica's situation, they question what has happened in her life since she returned from her travels.

As Jessica pours her heart out to the two women about family events that almost took her to the brink, help came from nowhere, it seemed - until Margo pointed out that she was obviously being carefully and lovingly watched over.

After Margo's words of comfort Jessica wondered what she should do next.

After much soul searching she decided to write a book about all of her amazing experiences, hoping to exorcise her own fears and at the same time helping many other lost souls. She hoped that her story might be food for thought when considering, where do we go when our journey is over?

The biggest turning point came when she was diagnosed with cancer. Jessica realised that there is nothing like facing your own mortality to bring your life into sharp focus.

The word death should be obliterated from our vocabulary Jessica finally says, for I can prove there is no such thing!
