Sylvia was born in London in 1939, just before World War II started. She was told her life had been mapped out for the work she had to do by a higher power that changes her life forever. Throughout her life, she has always felt that angels guided her and that she had a connection with this higher power. After being reduced to living in a homeless shelter with two children at the age of twenty-three, Sylvia had the most extraordinary experience. She began feeling the presence of a wonderful divine being in her life as a permanent guide that has stood by her to this day. Her journey included meeting up with spirit on the other side and having an encounter with a UFO.

The Other Side of Me has her full life story, which is one of disability, losing her speech at an early age during an air raid, and having to attend a special needs school. When she did regain her speech, she still found it difficult to pronounce certain words. This affected her education on all levels. But Sylvia refused to let anything hold her back in life and stayed positive. And that's what she wants her readers to know. She wants the world to know not only how she survived and made it, but also how the world can do it, too, if only they could open up to the reality beyond this reality.
