Connor's dad passed away recently and he's not feeling very good about it, so he decides to ask God for some answers by getting down on his knees and praying. He's a little surprised when God answers his prayer directly. About the BookThe Voice began as a letter to my nephew and niece after their father, my brother, died of cancer. About an hour into writing, this story appeared on my computer screen. Ever since its inception, "The Voice" has touched many hearts, but as of this publishing (and the writing of this introduction) it has not been read to my nephew and niece. I am very curious to find out what they will think of it, so this introduction will be a short one. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share about the book, you can contact me on twitter @brianmcdonough

Hester Dowden (1868–1949), or Hester Travers Smith, was an Irish spiritualist medium who is most notable for having claimed to contact the spirits of Oscar Wilde, William Shakespeare and other writers. Dowden's spirit-communications were published by various authors. She wrote Voices from the Void (1919), an account of her life as a medium, and Psychic Messages from Oscar Wilde (1923). Dowden was the daughter of the Irish literary scholar Edward Dowden. She used both her maiden name and her married name Hester Travers Smith. Her husband was a prominent Dublin physician. Dowden was closely linked to the Irish literary world through her father, knowing, among others W.B. Yeats and Bram Stoker. She was probably the model for the medium in Yeats's play, The Words upon the Window Pane. Her daughter married the playwright Lennox Robinson. Though she wrote only two books under her own name, her spirit-communications provided the basis for approximately twelve books published by other authors.
