A gripping modern love story that transcends all boundaries." ~ Juanita Wilson , Writer/Director & Academy Award® Nominee "I saw Karen go through the experiences described in Till Death Don't Us Part . That strange journey is captured in this riveting story of her being forced to accept what that "something" was. This story blends her inquisitive nature with her dry, Irish humor, and reminds me once again that her experiences made me believe in things I never thought I could believe in." ~ Alexandra Lipsitz , Filmmaker & Peabody Award Winner "A news reporter and former diehard skeptic, McCarthy gives us an entertaining, impeccably researched, and brilliantly written page-turner about continuing love after life, that will move, amaze, and provide deep comfort with its glorious, inspiring, and deafening ring of truth." ~ Jennifer Belle , bestselling author of Going Down and High Maintenance "Karen Frances McCarthy blends journalistic rigor with the heartfelt pain over losing the love of her life in Till Death Don't Us Part . It's a fascinating transformational journey that challenges all our assumptions about death." ~ Susan Shapiro , New York Times bestselling author of Unhooked& Byline Bible "This book's flowing narrative style makes it hard to put down. As you read her experiences in this easily read page turner, you find out what made a pragmatic, atheistic, skeptical war correspondent become a true believer in life after death. She shows satisfactorily that indeed consciousness continues and that an individual can communicate with those still on Earth, bringing comfort and a sense of joy that they have survived." ~ Tricia J. Robertson , Author of Things You Can Do When You're Dead & Former President of the Scottish Society for Psychical Research "Karen Frances McCarthy is an extraordinary writer. In Till Death Don't Us Part she tells a love story with a difference. She has a way of capturing your attention and making small moments memorable with an exquisite turn of phrase. This is a book we can wholeheartedly recommend to the newly-bereaved as well as to the seasoned afterlife researcher. It is guaranteed to make you see so many things in new ways." ~ Victor and Wendy Zammit , Co-authors of A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife and the Friday Afterlife Report "This beautifully crafted book addresses one of the major questions in life: 'What happens when we die?' Karen starts her journey like many people, from a point of skepticism, but after the pain and grief of losing the man she loved, she provides the reader an insight into her journey to a new reality which helped heal her pain and bring a new dimension to her life through which she could help others. She shows how the message of Spiritualism is transformational to the lives of many thousands of people as they come to understand from an evidence-based approach that death is not the end but rather the gateway to a whole new world." ~ Minister David R Bruton MBA, President Spiritualists' National Union & Principal of the Arthur Findlay College "Whether skeptic or believer, readers of this absorbing memoir will not easily put it down. A riveting read, Karen Frances McCarthy's memoir lifts the veil off reality hidden from many of us and exposes the larger dimensions of life, love, and the appearance of death. In dialogue with science, psychology, and world religions, her memoir restores faith in the old biblical adage that "love is strong as death."
