The true story of a modern-day Irish mystic

Available from Random House

Angels in my Hair is the autobiography of a modern-day mystic, and Irish woman with powers of the saints of old.  When she was a child, people thought Lorna was ‘retarded’ because she did not seem to be focusing on what was around her. Lorna remembers seeing not just the world around her but seeing, equally vividly, angels and spirits. For many years she assumed everyone say the same.

As Lorna tells the story of her life, growing up in a poor family, later working in Dublin, marrying and experiencing family tragedy, the reader meets, as she did, the creatures from the spirit worlds who also inhabit our own – mostly angels of astonishing beauty and variety, including the prophet Elijah and an Archangel – but also the spirits of people who have died.

Today, it is not only the sick and troubled who come to visit Lorna, looking for healing and consolation, but also theologians of different faiths and the head of a religious order in Rome travel to see her for guidance and spiritual insight too.

This remarkable document is the testimony of a woman who sees things at the far end of the spectrum, beyond the range of our everyday experiences.
