Light From Beyond the Tomb by Marilyn J. Awtry is a historical and spiritual exploration of Spiritualism, focusing especially on the famous Fox Sisters and the controversy surrounding their involvement in the movement. Awtry digs into the claims, recantations, and accusations that shaped public opinion, then uses official documents from 1889 and 1904 to clarify what actually happened.

At its heart, the book aims to show that despite attempts to discredit Spiritualism—including a widely publicized “death‑blow attack” in 1888—the movement survived and endured. Awtry presents the story as a blend of history, investigation, and spiritual reflection, offering readers a clearer look at how misinformation, regret, and later evidence reshaped the legacy of the Fox Sisters and the movement they helped ignite.
