      Some people in Maywell, New Jersey, commute to New York. Some are working on a lab project that will change the world — if it is allowed to succeed. And some people are witches. Amanda Walker is not a witch — yet. She's an artist, looking for work — unaware that someone has a desperate need for her, a dark plan that may require Amanda to enter death itself. If she is allowed to live long enough to make the choice. Amanda's tale is far stranger than she knows. It is ancient beyond memory. In times of great change it must be relived, in all its fear and hope, its wisdom and its passion. One of those times is now.

      After Anne Strieber's death in August 2015, she ingeniously returned to her husband, Whitley, initiating a profound exchange of love that became The Afterlife Revolution. Whitley's grief transformed into a warm, satisfying love, facilitated by Anne's expertise in afterlife studies following her near-death experience in 2004. Remarkably, she began communicating with him just an hour and a half after her passing. This compelling narrative, endorsed by renowned afterlife researcher Dr. Gary Schwartz, presents one of the most convincing accounts of afterlife communication, affirming that love can bridge the physical and nonphysical realms. Anne shares her experiences on the other side, emphasizing that "we are light, alive," and that true enlightenment emerges from love. Her articulate descriptions of the afterlife resonate deeply, offering a unique perspective. The book provides practical tools, including "objective love" and a special meditation technique, to foster connections between the living and the deceased. Anne asserts that humanity is divided not by gender but by the living and the so-called dead, a division that is neither natural nor necessary. The Afterlife Revolution celebrates the joy of bridging this gap, inviting readers to embrace a transformative human experience as we learn to coexist with those who have passed on.
