Product Description
For anyone who has ever wondered about the mysteries that lie beyond everyday experience, or doubted the reality of the afterlife, Angels in My Hair is a moving and deeply inspirational journey into the unseen world.
For as long as she can remember, Lorna Byrne has seen angels. As a young child, she assumed everyone could see the otherworldly beings who always accompanied her. Yet in the eyes of adults, her abnormal behavior was a symptom of mental deficiency. Today, sick and troubled people from around the world are drawn to her for comfort and healing, and even theologians of different faiths seek her guidance. Lorna is trusted for her ability to communicate with spirits and angels—and by sharing her intimate knowledge of the spiritual world she offers a message of hope and love to us all.
Angels in My Hair is an engrossing chronicle of Lorna’s incredible life story. Invoking a wonderful sense of place, she describes growing up poor in Ireland, finding work in Dublin, and marrying the man of her dreams—only to have the marriage cut short by tragedy. Already a bestseller in Ireland, her story gives readers a unique insight into the angelic help that is around us and available to us all the time. As Lorna says, "All you have to do is ask."
In this uplifting autobiography, a modern-day Irish mystic shares her vivid encounters and conversations with the angels and spirits she has known her entire life.

And no birds sing” (John Keats)
That is what the world today has become for most of us urbanites. We are starved for inspiration, for excitement, for something to be passionate about as we sleepwalk through our cushioned drone like existence. Then along comes someone like Lorna Byrne, a woman who has lived a very ordinary, humdrum and trial ridden life in extraordinarily rich, varied and vividly colourful ways, (a woman a la Susan Boyle), Ways which remind us of Christmas magic, all year round, of angelic beings waiting upon us and attentive to our slightest wish, of their eternal support and protection, of life and love everlasting. That is what this book is about, it deals a body blow to the cynicism and general lack of trust in institutions and authority figures that pervades modern (both Eastern and Western) society today.
This book has been a long way in the making. Lorna Byrne has not had an easy life by any standards, despite having seen angels all her waking life. She was born dyslectic and therefore, not singled out for parental focus and attention. She was left more or less alone for most of her childhood, as long as she helped out with household chores. Financial adversity made itself felt, in no uncertain terms in her life, and over long periods of time. That she, a formal dyslectic, and a relatively uneducated woman could write a book that would top the bestseller lists, is testimony to the innate strength of the human spirit, which, knowing no boundaries, can surprise again and again, operating as it does, in tandem with universal forces. This book reminds us once again of a time when we too felt the same way, when we felt the magic of our childhood, when the sun “did not come a wink too soon, nor brought too long a day”, to quote Thomas Hood.
What is so remarkable in this book is the ease with which the author allows herself to be led and guided by the angels, despite having misgivings at times. Most of us, even those who believe in angels would balk at the thought of our identity being compromised. Is it possible that this is the reason why all of us do not overtly see our angels? Why their guidance has to percolate through several layers of filters before coming through to us.
For those of us who are looking for answers in life, for those looking for a “sneak peek” at what happens behind the scenes, this is the book for you. It will inspire you to revive your faith in the Love of God and the Angels. The author provides the same picture of angels and archangels in the context of her own life, as Doreen VIrtue does, (in a more scholarly manner) in her many books on Angel Therapy, that is “call the angels for anything and everything, they are available 24/7″. Lorna Byrne even says that the all pervading sceptical outlook of the human species has made the angels feel “Unemployed”.
This book is a fast and truly captivating read, I found it hard to put down! It was also “infectious”, my husband picked it up and found it riveting as well.
Strongly Recommended.

Angels in My Hair
It has been months since reading this book and I still find myself thinking about it. It was a fascinating read and the first book I’ve read pertaining to Angels. I left the book feeling like I had severely underestimated how involved Angels are in my life and have since turned to more angel books to educate myself further. However, I still can’t get Lorna out of my head. Is she for real? Is her story true? Does she really talk to archangel Michael one-on-one? Her straight-forward, take-it-or-leave-it attitude makes me feel like this woman is truly the real thing. That-and the fact that reading this book awakened something deep within my soul. A very worth-while read.

I went in search of a book to help me with some experiences my young daughter was having. This book jumped out at me. I won’t share my story but I would like for people to read hers. Sometimes when you hear something you just inwardly know it’s the truth. This is how I felt when I read her book. It changes how you view yourself in this world. It can cause you to reach out to your own angel and feel comfort. This world is cynical and people sometimes only believe what they can see with their own eyes. I would challenge people to set that aside. This book is a gift to people who are ready to listen. It is the perfect gift to give at Christmas. Thank you for writing this book, Lorna.

I started this book with the hope of finding an explanation for some of my own experiences, and in the end this book gave me the reassurance that they were in fact real. But even more importantly, that no matter how far down in lifes paths you may go there is the assurance of a love and acceptance that is not conditional on the rituals you participate in or your ability to follow the religous lead of others, but that that love is truly there for everyone. This was confirmed to me by a women who had no opportunity to fabricate, or ability witnessed by others to do anything other than to share her witness. I thank God that he allowed this into her life and blessed others in the process as well. Thank you
