What a beautiful book! Full of evidence from her own experiences, Nicky's writing pulls you into a world of wonder. It is so reassuring knowing how much more there is to us than just our bodies, our lives on this earth plane. The chapters about our pets and spirit children will have you in tears. It did me! Thank you yet again, Nicky, for the beauty and comfort you have brought me.

Entertaining, engrossing, easy read.


Nicky Alan’s biography is a deeply moving and inspiring account of a woman who has faced incredible challenges while staying true to her spiritual path. From her early years growing up in a psychic family to developing her gift of communicating with angels, Nicky’s journey is both fascinating and uplifting.

The book takes readers through the highs of her career—working on television, sharing her abilities with the world, and helping people connect with the afterlife. However, the most gripping and emotional part of her story is the devastating car crash that changed everything. Her life was put on hold for years as she battled physical pain, emotional struggles, and the loss of the world she once knew.

Despite these hardships, Nicky’s resilience shines through. She continues to inspire through her work, and as a follower of her YouTube channel, I’ve watched her navigate even more losses—her life partner and two beloved dogs—while still dedicating herself to helping others cope with grief. Her story is a testament to strength, faith, and the unbreakable human spirit.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has faced adversity and seeks hope, healing, and a deeper understanding of life beyond what we see. Nicky Alan’s story will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Absolutely brilliant. I'm already a follower and fan of Nicky, so my review of this book is, as I said, absolutely brilliant.
If you were a sceptic regarding the spiritual world before reading this book,,,, well, you'll be a total believer afterwards.
The book shows Nicky as an honest, believable, funny, sometimes naïve, sometimes scared woman who treads the paths of both the spiritual plane and the world we all live in.
As with Icarus who flew too close to the sun, so did Nicky. I could feel in the reading, how tired she was. A 'slow down' would have been the way to go, but Nicky wants to help everyone, even at the expense of her own well being. And you can feel that as you read. Her love of people, her love of the angels, her inner need to help as many people as possible, comes through like a passively good gentle feeling as you read her words.
I've also read her book M.E, myself and I. Get onto that one, as it shows the depths of despair our dear Nicky went through. Now she is back with us, better than ever. Fabulous, fabulous read.

Nicky Alan is the real deal. This book spoke to my soul—I had tears streaming down my face on more than one occasion!

Nicky speaks from the heart. She makes you feel as if you are sitting down with a dear friend listening to her psychic journeys and discoveries about mediumship rather than being told about something happening back in the past in a detached manner. I love her style of writing. She has a way with words!

Gifted, smart, and funny, Nicky will make you laugh, cry and give hope about the afterlife. She truly is an Earth Angel sent to aid others in their spiritual journey. I cannot wait to read more from her!

Astonishing life of a well known psychic medium

Nicky writes of her amazing experiences throughout her life and in her work as a medium. Some are tragic, some are amusing but all shared with openness and honesty. Nicky leaves us in no doubt that our souls live on after leaving our physical bodies and she gives a great deal of comfort to grieving relatives. A few handy tips too on qualities to look for in a medium and what to avoid. Thank you Nicky , a fascinating read, many blessings to you.

I’m so glad you wrote and published this!

I love Nicky 🫶🏼 Her energy is amazing and I’ve learned a lot from her videos/interviews. I was so excited to know she wrote this book and will be reading M.E Myself and I next and when she publishes her next book that one too. Love your work Nicky as someone who also has experience the spirit world since I was a kid this brought me comfort and taught me life lessons. Much love to you🩷 Also I wish I had know about you in 2006 my world would’ve been so much easier to comprehend as a kid lol

The Miracle Medium

This medium is truly a miracle! I love that she shares so much of what she has learned with other mediums because she is right, there is jealousy in the industry, which is very sad. She suggested in her book to ask for a sign from someone you love who passed on. I too am a medium but like a child, I am still amazed with the miracles I see. Next night, my electric blanket was warm when I hadn't even turned it on!

Wonderful

I purchased and read this book as soon as I had finished Nicky's compelling memoire (M.E. Myself I, Diary of a Psychic Medium) and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. This book will give you total proof of the afterlife and is written with warmth, humour and compassion. I look forward to reading Nicky's next book!

Inspirational Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Isn't it just like the spirit world to guide us on our true paths, if we pay attention. And if not, they will push us back on to that path. Nicky is so honest about her experience and I appreciate that, in reading her story. She is truly an inspiration to me! Thank you!

Britains best psychic medium

It’s as if she is sitting talking to you in your house with interesting appearances, where she learnt her craft. In the end I got a bit tired of the learning curve information. A good read though.
