Product Description
The highly anticipated memoir from the star of the hit series Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead When Lisa Williams was four years old, she told her parents about the spirits in her bedroom. Since those first sightings, Lisa has seen and communicated with thousands of people who have passed over, listening to their stories and delivering messages of comfort to the loved ones they left behind. In Life Among the Dead, Lisa invitesreaders into her extraordinary life, from her childhood in Birmingham, England, where her grandmother -- also a renowned psychic -- encouraged her to respect and nurture her talent, to her decision to move to Los Angeles, where her smash-hit Lifetime television show quickly made her one of the world's most beloved mediums. Lisa shares memories of her earliest psychic experiences and her gradual acceptance of her gift, and recalls many of the amazingly accurate communications she has shared with believersand skeptics alike. In her compassionate, down-to-earth style, she reveals exactly what it's like to live surrounded by spirits every day, and she recounts the joy she feels in bringing solace to those who have lost someone dear and the insights she has gleaned about spiritual phenomena,hauntings, psychic healing, and the afterlife. Warm, witty, and surprising, Life Among the Dead is a wonderfully intimate account of Lisa's life as a medium, healer, wife, mom, and TV star who has already won the hearts of millions,a woman with an astonishing gift for seeing beyond the ordinary and into a mysterious and fascinating realm.

 Lisa in the Literary Field October 4, 2008
Lisa Williams may be one of the most carismatic persons ever entering the TV media and one delights in her enchanting spontanousness and directness.
This gifted persona oozes a zest for life and and afterlife and makes seemingly incomprehensible phenomenon stand out as selfexplanatory and obvious.
Where ms Williams excells "live" in her TV series she fails in her literary ambitions. She simply does not manage to transcend her vivacious and intense personality in letters. The book gives little clue as to why she seemingly unwilling caved in in order to dedicate herself to her unique gift and we get to know a lot of trivia that seems to lack the sufficient inspiration to make us understand and truly believe in her chosen profession.
Do not misunderstand me: Ms Williams is simply outstanding and endearing on her show and gives hope and comfort to millions of people. This major task is simply not reflected in her written ouvre.
It is always tempting to compare Ms Willimas with Mr Van Praagh. Ms Williams, in my opinion, comes out spendidly in such as comparison, whereas mr Van Praagh is an able writer. Douglas Modig, Kristianstad, Sweden
Well written, but... October 4, 2008
I picked up this book to read about her psychic abilities. At least that is what I thought the title suggested. Reading the sample also bolstered this opinion.
It turned out to be mostly an autobiography with a few morsels here and there about her psychic abilities. Nothing wrong with that, especially since the book flows very well and the writing is immaculate, but, well, I was expecting something else. Disappointed.
Excellent Book & Great Author!! October 1, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. I also really enjoyed her show on Lifetime and was very disappointed when it was canceled. This book was very easy to read and I had trouble putting it down. It was fascinating to read about her psychic experiences as well as her personal life and how she found her way to what she was meant to do. I hope she writes another book soon!! I highly recommend this book!!
I love Lisa Williams!! September 29, 2008
After seeing her show I just had to know more about this amazing woman. This is by far the best book I've ever read. It was so intriguing and a little eerie at times. Needless to say I would LOVE to have a reading with the incredible Lisa Williams.
Lisa Williams, An Intimate Conversation September 28, 2008
Life Among the Dead is a very enjoyable book. The conversational style feels like you are having a personal conversation with Lisa. If you are a fan of her TV show, you will love this book. If you never saw the show, read this book to see what you are missing. Lisa is an incredible psychic medium. The book is full of lots of interesting stories about Lisa and how she became a psychic. Read it and find out how she met her husband, moved to America, and got her own TV show. Lisa is the real deal. You can feel her bubbly personality and positive energy when you read this book. It is full of honest details about what it is like to be a psychic medium. It's a quick and easy read and will be enjoyable for readers of all levels.
