Ellie LeRoux spent her first sixty-nine years struggling, often unsuccessfully, to figure out life. But when she was forced to endure a family crisis that included her husband's and daughter's concurrent cancer diagnoses, Ellie embarked on a spiritual journey, with help from her friend, Shirley, that transported her from fear and self-hatred toward love and self-acceptance. In Your Friend, Leyland, Ellie shares a candid story of her experiences through several stages of life. Divided into three parts, Ellie begins by chronicling the first twelve conversations, channeled by Shirley, with the spirit group, Leyland, that include anecdotes, communications with Leyland, and poems penned by Shirley. As Ellie leads others through the next seventeen years of her life, she reveals how she learned to refocus on Leyland's powerful message, written by or sometimes shared through Shirley. Finally, she shares vignettes of life-affirming insights that radiate Leyland's message of hope and spiritual growth, ultimately revealing how perceptions color our understanding of ego, spirit, purpose, and reality. Your Friend, Leyland shares the touching story of one woman's experiences as her loving spirit guide leads her on an unending path of rebirth to seek her higher self.
