This is a fascinating book.It was written by a psychologist who treated a woman who'd been the victim of horrific child abuse. Her father repeatedly sexually molested her.However,this isn't a book about a childabuse survivor-Ruth's significance was in her ability to "create" apparitions.Under Dr. Schatzman's care she became able to deliberately summon apparitions of friends,realtives,even strangers.The book follows Dr. Schatzman and Ruth's exploration of her talent and the questions it raised.The apparitions were not paranormal; her father had grown a beard since the last time Ruth had seen him,but the apparition she created was clean-shaven.Once Ruth had summoned an apparition, she was unable to control it.The apparition behaved like a real person,and carried on conversations,wandered out of the room,etc. On one occasion she was able to make love and achieve an orgasm after calling up an apparition of her husband. Dr.Schatzman ran various tests on Ruth-he was able to demonstrate that her apparitions were so real to her that they were able to block light.And on one occassion her father also "saw" an apparition that Ruth had created.This isn't really a book about the paranormal-this book should be of interest to anyone interested in the amazing abilities of the human mind.This is an excellent book for the hardcore skeptics to read-they won't have to swallow any "impossibilities" but they will catch a glimpse of something with amazing implications

This is the first book that I have read by Evelyn Rogers, and I will say that I am definately hooked on her. Clay is a such a Texan! no other word for him! And Jenna is so brave. A must read!

This book is great. I loved every second of it and I believe you shall too. This book pins Ben Raines against Sister Voleta once again and who knows who the champion shall be. It is a good book dealing with lots of violence but that is a part of what makes it so great. Give 'er a try what do you have to lose.

I very much enjoyed the comical banter you will find among the characters at times. You will find this book VERY hard to put down!
