Her visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people; she can predict future events and sense your thoughts. These are some of the extraordinary gifts that define the remarkable Allison DuBois, the real-life medium, wife, and mother whose life is the inspiration for the hit NBC television series Medium.
When she was six years old, Allison's deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: "I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there's no pain." Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost. The purpose of her gifts became clear when Allison worked as an intern in the homicide bureau of the district attorney's office and found that she visualized the crime as she handled the evidence. Allison now works as a profiler on criminal investigations.
In this stunning audiobook, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother.
If you have ever questioned whether there is an afterlife, this audiobook will help you see that there is a living energy beyond death.

"Interesting to learn about how she learned and honed her skill as a medium. She is an amazing person who is full of love. Great stories about the living/dead with whom she has had contact. Also helped me with some grieving in my own life for someone I love who recently passed."
— Brittany (4 out of 5 stars)
" based on the t.v. show "medium" "
— Annie, 1/23/2014" I was surprised I listened to a book like about this type of thing. The book was read by the author. She is the person who inspired the TV show "Medium." Her daughters have the same "gifts" she has. she's seen animals in the visions she's seen. She doesn't charge for her gift. She has strong ethic's when sharing with others what she has seen. She only shares those things that help, not hurt. She shares how parents can help children with this gift. She can see the dead and often the future. She knew things about the Elizabeth Smart case, but no one listened and after they could see the match up. This discusses a little bit about dark people and hell, but this is an upbeat book. "
— Becky, 1/13/2014" I was expecting a memoir so I found the series of anecdotes (that had no chronological order) confusing at first. Her husband's essay about life with Allison revealed a lot about how her ability functions in daily life. I found that and her advice about raising psychic children (like her girls) the most interesting parts of the book. "
— Molly, 1/5/2014" This is one of the not very many books I never finished. After watching the tv programme based on Alison I thought this book would be excellent. It was boring and repetative. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. "
— Karen, 1/3/2014" Well written - in the form of memories, essays and narrative. She gives example of post Earthly plane encounters and courage to others like her who experience more than the normal. "
— Shaun, 12/16/2013" This was an excellent book. I really enjoyed this. It was told in easy layman's speak. She gave many valuable tips on how to possible deal with children who might be having experiences. "
— Joyce, 12/3/2013" A must read for anyone who still feels connected to their lost loved ones. "
— SueAnn, 11/27/2013" I thought I would enjoy this book. I enjoy the subject and genre but this book is poorly written, like an over edited personal collection of anecdotes. "
— Jude, 9/19/2013" horrible - couldnt finish - about a woman who could communicate with the dead "
— Jamie, 9/4/2013" I am not sure how well written this book really is, but it gave me comfort. I have always been afraid of death and like the idea of there being more! "
— Kate, 8/30/2013" The topic of this book...mediums...fascinate me "
— Carol, 8/1/2013" Story of the Woman who Inspired the Hit NBC TV Series, Medium "
— Rebecca, 4/27/2013" From the real person that the show Medium is based off of. The book was just 'all right' for me. "
— Sheila, 4/14/2013" good book makes yoy think alot "
— Patricia, 3/28/2013" Lady from the medium ... it was worth the read wouldn't buy it. "
— Christy, 2/16/2013" A bit repetitive and couldn't seem to decide if it was a memoir, anthology, or how-to guide on interacting with psychics. But it was fun, after watching "Medium," to read a little about her real-life family members. "
— Stephanie, 9/28/2012" Still not sure how I feel about the whole medium thing but this book made me want to believe. "
— Jodie, 8/8/2012" Psychics should not write books. "
— Vanessa, 6/7/2012" Picked this up because it *should* have been interesting-- a medium who can see and communicate with spirits. Unfortunately, she can't write more than a simple declarative sentence. "
— Jessica, 2/28/2012" I love the tv show ("Medium"), I even like the author, but the book is NOT well-written. I finished it, but promptly got it off my book shelves. A disappointment. "
— Victoria, 2/11/2012" Person upon whom the character for the TV show "Medium" is based. I was disappointed with this book. Very unsatisfying read. "
— Chris, 1/13/2012" A very interesting book, if you like mediums. :) "
— Susanna, 1/9/2012" I think this was her first book so she hasn't really developed he style fully. That being said I sat down and read it cover to cover. What a wonderful insite into such a mysterious profession. "
— Jodi, 9/22/2011" Meh. I skipped or skimmed through many sections that I didn't relate to. Some sections were interesting, although not very well written or edited. "
— Carol, 8/31/2011" now do you think you need to 'see it' to believe it? "
— Catania, 8/18/2011" Made me cry on every page. "
— Valma, 8/8/2011" I am fascinated by this woman and seeing her in person is definitely a life-changing experience, but she's not the best writer. I was pretty disappointed with this book. "
— Michelle, 6/10/2011" Had some trouble listening to the real Allison on the CD...sorry...her voice is grating...I should have read it...probably would have liked it much better. "
— Geri, 5/19/2011" Interesting enough, but not a lot. "
— Heather, 1/31/2011" My favourite book so far written by this author. "
— Mr., 1/18/2011" Anything spiritual, being a spiritual person I love to read about other's experiences. Allison DuBois is an interesting person she seems so loving and fun. I'd love to meet her at that bar she goes to when on vacation and learn more about her. "
— Lauraley, 1/9/2011" I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but I wasn't impressed with its content. I think it falls short of showing Whether there is an afterlife. "
— Angie, 12/8/2010" After loosing my niece last October I am constantly wondering how she is and what she is doing. I really like Allison's perspective and understanding in dealing with the loss of a loved one. "
— Jamierip, 9/13/2010" A biography by the woman who inspired the television show medium.<br/><br/>Not that interesting really. Putting on Bookmooch. "
— Sarah, 8/25/2010" I SO love the show Medium so I was a bit disappointed when this was a bit of a snorefest. It was more like a self help for physics, when I was really only reading it for her personal experiences/stories. "
— Michelle, 7/6/2010" Love it. Love her style of writting too. "
— Jroc, 5/12/2010" This was great insight into Allison Dubois, and her life with her young family and husband. It was lovely to hear what Joe had to say about life with Allison. "
