Meet Anna, a thirty-something living alone in New York City. A schoolteacher by day, by night she works as a medium, covertly helping people reunite with their lost loved ones.

Their partnership--unique, effective, and not without humour--has been described as 'one of the greatest Christian partnerships of the 20th century'.
