Blurb (from book jacket): "Amy Bruni co-star of Kindred Spirits and one of the world's leading paranormal investigators, has spent years studying the otherworldly, and she has a life time of first-hand experience. Now, in Life with the Afterlife, she reveals the surprising insights she has gleaned and how these unwavering truths have shaped her unique approach to interacting with the spirits of the dead and those who encounter them.

"Though her fact-based research and wildly entertaining prose, Amy relays how she uncovers back stories that eerily explain and corroborate apparitions, and have recognizing that ghosts are people can help us move from fear to empathy for them. From stories of her earliest supernatural encounters as a child, through her years on Ghost Hunters and the creation of her company Strange Escapes, which offers paranormal excursions to some of America's most notoriously haunted destinations, and into her current work on the Travel Channel's Kindred Spirits this book is full of astonishing and deeply moving tales of Amy's efforts to better understand the dead but not yet departed.

"This book is sure to change how you think about ghosts, whether you are a die-hard skeptic or a long-time believer. With Amy's bright humor and fierce compassion for both those who are haunted and those who are haunting. Life with the Afterlife is an eye-opening look at what connects us as people, in life and beyond."

Opinion: I have been a fan of Amy's since her debut on Ghost Hunters. She brings a refreshing look to paranormal investigations. This book is like having a conversation with Amy about her take on ghosts and why she investigates the way that she does.
