About the Book

An unknown hand seems to have directed the astonishing, other-worldly experiences revealed by author, Sarah Delano, in On The Way to My Funeral. Like ocean waves that are guided by an unseen force to crash and break upon the jagged rocks of the Maine coast, altered time events came crashing through the veils of normal consciousness; breaking apart ordinary concepts of time and space…life and death, leaving the author forever altered. Nothing during the idyllic childhood she enjoyed during the 40’s and 50’s in the safety and simplicity of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, hinted at the events that would follow in the world beyond the limits of her hometown. In a skillful, unadorned style of writing Ms. Delano speaks of the unspeakable: rape on the high seas, war in the Middle East, living future segments of her life before they happened, past life experiences, and a near-death event…all of which turned the beliefs of her simple childhood upside down.

In the recounting of these events and more, Ms. Delano invites readers to examine their own lives and beliefs: to hold themselves somehow accountable in a universe for which there is no accounting.
