Exceptional Read Nov 15, 2008
By Lori Alexander
I picked up 'An Extra Year' and couldn't put it down! At the onset, the subject matter for me was, 'oh come on, really, this can't be for real...' but I suspended my belief as I read. Steven Morrison led me along a new path: Enlightening, illuminating, and yes, challenging--in a way that became intriguing and believable. Deep and thought-provoking-- a comfortable, funny, heart-warming, extremely well-written must read.

Answers an age old question... Nov 15, 2008
By Michelle B. Sharpe
I loved this book. I literally read it in one day. It was well written and well structured and tells the story of a loving relationship that "ends" too soon, after the death of the author's partner, but then continues through the help of a capable and experienced medium. The story is universally appealing because it answers the ultimate, age-old question: what happens to the soul after the body has died? "An Extra Year" answers the question clearly, rationally, and ultimately believably.

No need to suffer with grief and loss...must read this book ! Nov 15, 2008
By V. Sirkin
Steven Morrison shares a highly personal and riveting experience. It will help those dealing with grief and loss. It will also open doors to places where so many of us would otherwise never approach, either due to fear of the unknown, or even religion based cynicism. His nod of approval based on his experience with the other side, gives us the strength and freedom to explore without guilt. You will want to meet him, you will want to hug him. Most importantly you will want to share this book with those you love. Steven gives us another way to deal with loss. As often said, when "the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Thank you for the light.

Meaningful on many levels Nov 14, 2008
By Andrew Chapman
"Author & Publishing Entrepreneur"
Morrison has managed to deliver a profound message in territory where many other authors have left their mark. He's done so because he takes a unique, highly personal road in exploring this territory, and more importantly, he presents his message to the reader in a way that rises above the story itself. Far from being a story about *his* experience, it actually engages you in such a way that you discover much about yourself, often in unexpected ways. No doubt the transcendental experience in reading this book is a testimony to Morrison's eclectic psychological and spiritual training and understanding. Whether you are dealing with grief and loss in your life right now or not, you will find this book enriches your soul.

Helpful for anyone grieving. Dec 09, 2008
By Jennifer Anderson
I received this book from a friend, and was hesitant on reading it. I am still going through a grieving process from my mothers passing, and I wasn't sure if this book would trigger some repressed feelings (which do need to surface...I just didn't want them to surface now). My friend urged me to read it. I am so thrilled that I did. Steven has such feeling and emotion in his writing, I felt like I was in the room with him...experiencing with him. There are many things in this book that helped me with my own grieving process. One point in particular is when he states, "I am supposed to be living here without him." That statement flipped on a light for me, and helped me look at it from a different prospective.
Thank you so much, Steven. It has helped me more than I can say.
Peace and Blessings to you.
