The author: Mrs. Fanny H. Park was a known Spiritualist, who, under her maiden name "F. Heslop", published several noteworthy titles. Her works, such as "Speaking Across the Border-Line", "Further Messages across the Border-Line", and "Life Worth Living; Messages From A Husband In Spirit Life To His Wife On Earth", are said to be messages from her late husband, received through the medium of automatic writing. These publications underscore her deep-rooted belief in the spiritual realm and her desire to bridge the gap between the living and the departed.
