Coming shortly after W.T. Stead's bestselling channeled work Letters from Julia, the letters are now considered an essential guide to the afterlife. All are fascinating, informative and inspirational and are required reading for anyone interested in life and death, the afterlife, and why we are here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Crow Productions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043790766320,"sku":"9781907661228","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907661228_p0.jpg?v=1763619315","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907661228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
