About this listen

When Sukey Forbes lost her six-year-old daughter, Charlotte, to a rare genetic disorder, her life felt as if it were shattered forever. Descended from two distinguished New England families, Forbes was raised in a rarefied - if eccentric - life of privilege. Yet Forbes's family history is also rich with spiritual seekers, including her great-great-great-grandfather Ralph Waldo Emerson. On the family's private island enclave off Cape Cod, apparitions have always been as common as the servants who once walked the back halls. But the "afterlife" took on new meaning once Forbes dipped into the world of clairvoyants to reconnect with Charlotte.

With a mission to help others by sharing her own story, Forbes chronicles a world of ghosts that reawakens us to a lost American spiritual tradition. The Angel in My Pocket is a moving and utterly unique tale of one mother's undying love for her child.

Critic reviews

"In this heartbreaking book, a bereaved mother offers an unflinching account of the different ways we grieve and the different - and surprising - ways we may begin to heal." (George Howe Colt, author of The Big House)
All stars
Most relevant  
This story was incredibly tragic and inevitable, but the assuming and pretentious nature of the author was impossible to look past. The entire story was based on the pretense of wanting less, but it’s all that was focused on. It was difficult to appreciate the story because of the materialistic and valid view of the world.
