Synopsis

In her newest book, Allison DuBois explains that the lives of people aren't much different than those of monarch butterflies—that we wouldn't be the people we are, make the choices we do, and, in essence, live the lives we lead without the friends and family members that came before us and have passed over to the other side.

If you want to understand life, you must understand death. In Secrets of the Monarch, DuBois shows how communicating with the dead has taught her important lessons about life and how listeners can apply those principles to their own lives.

Although we are all products of our predecessors, DuBois stresses that every person's life is part of a bigger story, stretching past family and friends to neighbors, community members, and society as a whole. By making the most of your life now, DuBois says, you can positively affect that story. It is your legacy to pass the fire in your eyes and heart to your children, your siblings' children, and your friends' children.

After all, if you already know that the story will end, why not make the content a true masterpiece?

Goodreads review by Carla

This book had a few interesting points to make, but overall, it just didn't do much for me. I think she could have said the things she needed to say in one long blog entry instead of trying to fill up a whole book.......more

Goodreads review by Tracey Allen

This is the latest book by the author who inspired the tv show Medium. I've read her previous books, and this was equally as enjoyable. Even though DuBois is not a 'great' writer, the subject she writes about is fascinating enough to keep her on my 'must read author' list. It's a shame that her writ......more

Goodreads review by SHR

This is a quick, simple read and if you’ve read either of her other books, you’ve heard what she has to say. I found this one a little frustrating, as she name drops in this book, when she has restrained herself from doing that in the previous books. This is also a little repetitive, while the book i......more
