Book Review : Christine Nightingale avoided talking about her “reluctant gifts” for about 40 years. She used them in life and teaching but wanted to be “normal” so she hid them. As a baby she had past life dreams. As a child, she was aware of angels in the garden and talked with them. Growing older she realized that others she knew weren’t having these dreams or conversing with angels. For 30 years her intuition aided her in helping the children she taught, discovering deafness in one child who had been labeled a problem student and discovered learning disabilities in another. Knowing about these conditions led to actual diagnoses instead of labeling. These children were able to work at their optimal levels with her help. Yet it was a long time before she was comfortable in her unusual skin.
