Publisher's summary

In this best-selling memoir, Marla Frees reveals her extraordinary life journey from a small-town girl in a troubled family to a stage and TV actress and ultimately one of the country’s most respected transformational psychic mediums. Her tales of a harrowing childhood, burgeoning career in Hollywood, and astounding psychic and spiritual adventures along the way reveal the resilience and heights of the human spirit. U.S. military psychic spies, homicide cases, messages from the other side, spiritual healing - Marla Frees was given a gift from “Spirit” that she uses to help others.

In this audio edition, Marla delivers her narrative as only she can, reliving all the drama and humor of her life in her inimitable, dynamic voice. In a story that acclaimed author Brian Weiss, MD (Many Lives Many Masters) calls “powerful and fascinating,” Marla takes us into realms that will astonish, inspire - and heal.

Fantastic!

Finished this in a few short days as Marla’s provocative writing and riveting storytelling made it easy! She shares intimately & openly her path and how she discovered her gift of being a psychic medium. I was touched by her ability to be raw with personal details. It was a “hard to put down book” as I didn’t want to miss what happened “next” in her adventures & discoveries! I found it to be fascinating and inspiring. Thanks Marla ❤️

LOVE

Beautifully written. Her story will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was sad that it ended. Thank you Marla for sharing your story that so many of us can relate too. It helps me forgive the pain my Mother put my sister and I through.

Must Listen!

Marla's story is inspiring and relatable. I read the book when it first came out several years ago and decided to listen to it because it's read by the author. Hearing Marla read her story added a dynamic that I had not picked up on from reading it. I loved hearing Marla's voice, like hearing your best friend tell you the most exciting adventure of a story. It felt like I was right there with Marla, experiencing each moment just as she had. Worth your time and the money!

Buckle up and get ready for a ride unlike any!

I was riveted from the beginning. Marla Frees narrates her memoir, and hearing her express her own written thoughts really brings the content to life and makes the experience all the more engaging. But it’s the content that kept me deeply reflective and completely attentive. Like a great book, I couldn’t “put it down”!

Marla’s story is truthfully illuminating about a part of life that most of us consider and think about often, yet are unsure how to create a tangible bridge where we truly feel that elusive connection. Still if you’re like me, you may only have previously been privy to glimpses of a part of life we all sense exists. Marla is the real deal, and her memoir is such a complete exposé into her legitimate connection with that part of consciousness, that her story and her experiences shared therein will be something I imagine many will find common to their own lives—whether directly or indirectly. She has had such an immersive life of connecting with the spirit world and the greater collective consciousness, it almost acts like a roadmap as to how we all can personally seek and find connection with a part of life so many of us yearn to experience.

American Psychic weaves the story of her life, full of varied and even dysfunctional experiences. Through the ups and downs of her life, her sensitivity has been tuned and has yielded an incredible awareness and connection with that collective consciousness. But while listening, I found myself mirroring so much of my own life with aspects of what she shares. It made the experience all the more personal to my own life, and I imagine many others will resonate with aspects of their lives and the synchronicity they will find along with Marla’s. It really does expose a commonality within so much of our individual and collective human experience.

This book can easily land with a wide audience because of that vital common denominator which she exposes that we all share. Listening to her mellifluous read was a pleasure, as it flows and keeps the listener fully engaged. Upon its completion I was left with a palpable sense of hope and grace and even personal reverence, which I found to be honest in its fulfillment. This story is indeed a “must hear” (or read), as the net result is a strong sense of positivity, which is what I seek to find with any great book. I fully encourage others to tune into what I found to be a fascinating experience—enjoy!

RIVETING!

This book took me on a journey of being fascinated, mad, and intrigued. I laughed out loud a few times. I cried a few times. I was riveted the ENTIRE time and if I had to stop, you know, to cook food, take a call, sleep...it was all I could think about.

I was quite impressed with Marla's candor and artful decoration of words. I could picture everything happening. Seamlessly, she went from the past to the present.

Highly recommend!!!

Beautifully written story of psychic gifts and supernatural support.

I couldn’t put this book down.

Telling the story about how psychic gifts are developed is like trying to catch lightning in a mason jar. And yet, Marla has somehow done it beautifully with honesty, skill, and grace. This book offers healing for people with psychic abilities that were born from childhood trauma, help for those who search for answers from beyond, and a glimpse at the entertainment business as well as the world of Spiritualism.

I found many “connections” to my own life and shared many laugh out loud moments as well as a few tearful ones as I binged listening to American Psychic.

Great storytelling and an honest look at what it’s like living with Spirit!
