Synopsis

Death is never the end of the story.

In 1991, as Linda Alice Dewey walked through an abandoned cemetery, she and a companion felt a presence. She returned to that graveyard over the next couple of years, hoping to reach out to that poor being, offering the words:

"Whoever is here...my heart is with you."

Little did Linda know that those words would begin her relationship with Aaron Burke, a man who had died nearly 70 years earlier. Aaron followed Linda home that day from the graveyard. As she opened herself to this ghost she learned that he was stuck in a state of limbo, unable to cross over.

Aaron had been kidnapped by his father at age four and taken from Ireland to America where he was put to work. Hardened and embittered from his childhood, he did manage to find happiness, only to have it all slip away. Shortly after witnessing his own funeral, Aaron met other ghosts waiting for the time they could finally leave this state of limbo. Yet for decades he could only watch as the people he knew both in life and death crossed over, leaving him behind.

Working together to find the closure Aaron needed, he and Linda became friends along the journey. Years after that first meeting and his subsequent crossing, Aaron returned to share the full story of his life--and afterlife--with Linda.

This true ghost story gives hope and inspiration to all of us. Aaron shows us that, when seen as the big picture, everything makes sense. Aaron's Crossing sheds light on the mystery of dying, reassuring us that death is never the end of the story!

About this title

From the Publisher:

At the time AARON'S CROSSING was written, shows such as "Medium" or "The Ghost Whisperer" were unheard of. Now, the true story of what happened to the author and the story she received from a former ghost are feasible in the eyes of a culture becoming more aware and open to unseen possibilities.

AARON'S CROSSING is significant in that it brings several elements key to existence heretofore deemed "mystical" into the light. Its readers respond daily with emails that tell how this astounding book is affecting their lives.

Aaron's story is every person's story as we struggle to make meaning out of what appears to be chaos. In the end, he reassures us, it will all make sense. This seemingly Pollyanna-ish statement comes from deep learning experienced by a man who, though he did know some happiness in life, suffered severe hardship both during life and afterward. His lessons cannot be missed, and their significance must not to be dismissed.

We are pleased to offer AARON'S CROSSING to a mushrooming readership.

From the Author:

Aaron came back to me five years after I helped him cross. One morning I awoke hearing a voice, and for three months afterward spent a few hours each day taking down this story of his life, his great love, the terrible mistake he made, his death, what it was like to realize he was a ghost, what he learned about himself as he looked back over his life, and what it was like when I came into his existence. And he tells of his crossing--all from a point of view filled with wisdom garnered from the Other Side.

In telling how he learned to cope with who he was, we perceive new ways to cope with our own lives because the truths he came upon are universal.

Believe it or not. What's true is true, and our belief or disbelief doesn't affect reality except as we access or refuse to open to more than the limited truths taught in today's culture. AARON'S CROSSING begins with a simple act that breaks through physical barriers, opening the door to infinity and access to a higher wisdom for all of us.

Think of the possibilities. Are we immortal? Do we ever stop being? Aaron shows us that the senseless deaths that surround us are not the end of the story. Much more waits on the other side--resolution, peace, and yes, heaven.
