THE ANGEL IN MY POCKET

THE ANGEL IN MY POCKET is a beautifully moving memoir of rediscovering life by connecting with the afterlife.

When Sukey Forbes lost her six-year-old daughter Charlotte to a rare genetic disorder, her life felt as if it were shattered forever. As the scion of two distinguished New England bloodlines, Forbes was raised in a rarified—if eccentric—life of privilege. Yet, Forbes’s family history is also rich with spiritual seekers, including her great-great-great-grandfather Ralph Waldo Emerson. On Naushon Island, the family’s private enclave off Cape Cod, apparitions have always been as common as the servants who once haunted the back halls. But the “afterlife” took on new meaning once Forbes dipped into the world of clairvoyants to reconnect with Charlotte.

With a mission to help others by sharing her own story, Forbes chronicles a world of ghosts that reawakens us to a lost American spiritual tradition. Filled with rare and candid glimpses into the lives of the Forbes clan, The Angel in My Pocket is a moving and utterly unique tale of one mother’s undying love for her child. Sukey Forbes comes from a distinguished New England family, a bloodline studded with notable names and significant contributions to American history. She currently resides near Boston, where she runs an art, antiques, and interior design company.
