For readers who were inspired by Alua Arthurs Briefly Perfectly Human, an emotional, eye-opening account of one womans journey from loss and abuse to healing and spiritual awakening.As a boy, Jay Amelong predicted the accident that caused his death, down to the color of the car that hit him. I will die young, while riding my bike, he told friends and family repeatedly. It wont be much longer, I want you to be prepared. These were baffling words to hear from the mouth of a content thirteen-year-old-but when Kristina Amelong was only seventeen, her brothers tragic death unfolded exactly as he said it would, radically changing her life.Propelled down a self-destructive path of drug addiction and reckless sex, Kristina spent much of her young adult years wanting to die. Once or twice she came close. Always, Jays bizarre story and his inexplicable acceptance of his own death lived in her body.More than thirty years after losing Jay, Kristina embarks on a journey of discovery, seeking truth about herself, her brother, and the universe. The result of her investigation is a memoir that defies belief. Charting a life path from loss and abuse to healing and spiritual awakening, What My Brother Knew demonstrates the transformative power of facing the mystery of death head-on and our incredible ability, as humans, to do just that.
