First published 1980
Dorothy Allison stands in her modest New Jersey home, facing another desperate family whose loved one has vanished without a trace. The slight housewife possesses an extraordinary gift that allows her to see what others cannot. When police investigations stall and hope fades, people turn to Dorothy for answers she provides without charge. Her visions have guided searches in over one hundred baffling disappearances, leading investigators to discoveries they never could have made alone. Police officers and grateful families have documented her successes in sworn statements that verify her remarkable abilities. Dorothy opens her doors to rich and poor alike, driven by compassion rather than profit. Each case brings new challenges as she navigates the mysterious realm of her psychic powers while confronting the raw grief of those who seek her help. This is her personal account of using an unusual gift to bring closure to families torn apart by loss.
