What if when our loved ones die, they continue to exist just beyond the ability of all but a few of us to recognize them? And what if you are one of the few? Iris Macdonald never planned to be an artist. She never planned to be a medium either. Taking up painting had been her choice when she left Manhattan in the wake of her boyfriend's death. But the mediumship came about of its own accord, threatening to upset the sweet life she had made for herself in the Berkshires. The visions of houses that began to appear in her mind, refusing to go away unless she painted them, were the first indication something was up. The strange voice in her head was the second. Afraid she was losing her mind; she tried to keep all of it a secret. The universe had other ideas. A Better Sense of Being is a story about healing, hope, and the magic that occurs when we allow ourselves simply to believe.
