The final book from the world's favourite medium, who died in 2002, contains 101 original poems about life & commentaries on each one. Betty Shine died in March 2002 of heart failure, a bitter irony for a woman who spoke from the heart & devoted much of her life to healing others. Having spent the last decade of her life committing her thoughts & tales of her incredible experiences to paper in 11 popular & often best-selling books, Betty began experimenting with a new outlet for her unique philosophy of life -- poetry. Though she had written heartfelt poems for many years, it was only in her last year that it was finally recognized as being really special, when she began getting interest from professional record producers about setting some to music & turning a number of the verses into lyrics. It seemed that the musical instincts Betty had honed as a professional opera singer were showing themselves quite unwittingly in the way she wrote her poetry. This final book from Betty Shine collects together 101 of her poems, & is introduced by her daughter, Janet, who worked closely with Betty & has inherited many of her amazing psychic gifts. Janet provides a short introduction to each poem, allowing a unique intimacy into the background to each one. The collection is at once thought-provoking & inspiring, presenting an honest summary of so many of the thoughts & sentiments that made Betty's books so popular & stimulating. The wisdom enshrined in these pieces, will provide support & solace to her many devoted fans, as well as being the perfect introduction for those who have yet to be touched by the magic of Betty Shine. ...

Shiny Pennies And Grubby Pinafores

After her years in domestic service, Winifred Foley married and started a family. But, while scraping a living as a charwoman in a rundown north London tenement, she continued to long for her home in the Forest of Dean and the cherished relatives she had left behind. Determined to give their children the rural upbringing she had enjoyed, the young couple moved to an isolated, crumbling cottage not far from the Forest. But even in the 1950s they lacked heating or running water, and money was tight. Food was begged, borrowed or home-grown, and their clothes were hand-me-downs. It was a primitive life of hard work on the land, struggling to make ends meet, and finding strength in the embrace of a loving family.
