The Medium Next Door is the amazing life story of spirit medium Maureen Hancock, who discovered her psychic abilities to see, hear, and speak with the dead when she was just five years old. Descended from a long line of legendary Irish mystics, Maureen was no stranger to the spiritual realm, but she still kept the messages from the departed to herself all throughout her childhood and teen years, eventually suppressing them almost completely.
Maureen wouldn't open herself up to communicating with spirits again until she was in a near-fatal car crash. Soon after, she had hundreds of voices in her head, many of them helping her crack cases and expose fraud in her role as a litigation paralegal at a large Boston law firm. Accepting her gift but still keeping it to herself, she married and had two children.
It wasn't until tragedy struck on 9/11 and Maureen was bombarded with messages from the spirits that she realized she had to stop hiding her ability and put it to good use. She left her job at the law firm and opened the holistic healing center Pathways to Healing and launched the cancer foundation Manifest a Miracle. Today, she goes by the title Medium Mom and strives to balance raising children, raising the dead, assisting the dying, searching for missing children, and teaching about life after death.

      Hancock says she would like to be remembered as the girl next door with a twist--the twist being that she's a medium. As such, she has become famous enough for a possible Disney reality show (in the works for the fall 2011 season). Her narrative covers her personal life, her work as a medium, and self-help advice at the end of each chapter. Despite her own personal loss and Hancock's exposure to the grief of others, her book is full of hope and reassurance. Her revelations about being a medium and talking to the dead are much the same as those found in books by other mediums, e.g., Concetta Bertoldi and John Edward. All share engaging personalities and a positive message about what happens to us after death. Hancock's unusual background in holistic training (Reiki and Chinese medicine) and stand-up comedy gives her a slightly different outlook. VERDICT Hancock's moving book will attract anyone captivated by mediums and life after death.--Mary E. Jones, Los Angeles P.L.
