Book Overview

The extraordinary life story of psychic and clairvoyant, Mia Dolan, the new Betty Shine.

Contents
- Mia Dolan is one of the UK's most eminent and extraordinary psychics whose work has taken her from private readings to 'ghostbusting' to psychic demonstrations in front of hundreds of people. Her abilities have made her one of the most sought-after psychics in the country.
- An ordinary woman brought up in a working-class family on the Isle of Sheppey, she had her first out-of-body experience at the age of 12 when she was sexually assaulted by a local teenager. At the age of 22 her spirit guide began to talk to her and showed her how to use her clairvoyance as well providing fascinating insights into the nature of the Afterlife.
- Mia's life has been touched by tragic experiences including when she foresaw the murder of her own brother and when her son died while still only a teenager.
- In The Gift Mia describes how her psychic ability developed, and the more dramatic readings that she has given including the man who came to ask her where his missing wife was - she knew instantly that she was dead, and the body was later found exactly as Mia described. The book recounts her activities as a 'ghostbuster' and exorcist, and includes stories of the haunted Drury Lane Theatre in London, a haunted theme park, and sightings of earth-bound spirits - both good and bad.
- 'I want people to know there is more to life than what we call reality, more than what we can see - and it is not as far beyond our reach as we imagine. It is ordinary, everyday, here and now, in this minute. And it is magical, a gift.'

super book, a must read for the sceptic and developing psychics

Mia's story of her rather dramatic development as a psychic medium throughout an abusive childhood and relationships is fascinating and sometimes amusing. Particularly so when her spirit guide insists on talking to her out of thin air. She is a lovely person to meet as well at her events and it is good for us women psychics to get more publicity now., this book reached the top 10 best sellers in The Times book list and still sells really well here in the UK. It's a good read and one of the few around now that is enduring.

Interesting psychic awakening.

I read this book in a day. It was that absorbing. I was touched by Mia's challenges and impressed by her desire to help others. The stories of her awakening psychic life were fascinating and told in a way that was quite down to earth. I truly enjoyed this book.

Biography of a Reluctant Psychic

The title catches your eye, but Mia Dolan's lifelong struggles against poverty, abusive men, and family losses makes an interesting memoir even if the psychic parts were omitted. It details her efforts to survive verbal and physical abuse and to make a life for herself and her children and to overcome the circumstances and poor choices that try to drag her down. Adding another dimension to this, is the awakening of her "gift" which enables her to help others. For those skeptical of anything they cannot see for themselves, this may seem too airy-fairy. For those with open minds, it's fascinating to see the development of Mia's psychic skills. This book was published in Britain under the title, The Gift.

The title says more than I ever could!

This book called out to me at the library yesterday and I picked it up, not even knowing whether it was fiction or non-fiction, what it was about even. At home, I began reading it after lunch and ignored everything I had to do around the house as I turned page after page, totally enthralled by Mia's world. I ended up staying up until midnight to finish this wonderful book and wishing I had another book to start immediately! It was fantastic.
