When, at age fifty-nine, Rachelle Rogers was told in a channeled conversation about a man she didn't know, yet felt she'd been waiting for all her life, it initiated an extraordinary six year inter-dimensional affair of the heart.

The rich tapestry of events, which unfolds through ongoing conversations with angelic beings affectionately called The Dead Guys, weaves through a world of classical music, poetic inspiration, synchronistic interludes, and unexpected landscapes including Paris, Provence, and the Caribbean island of Saint Martin.

In an authentic and lyrical voice, Rare Atmosphere recounts a story of passion, vision, and the courage to quest for a grander truth.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"In this rare metaphysical excursion, seasoned writer Rachelle Rogers explores the synergy between inner and outer realms, past and present; a richly poetic journey that reflects the beauty and resilience of the human spirit." -Mindy Lewis, author of Life Inside: A Memoir

"In this memoir, the author has a love affair--with a man she's never met. Rogers (A Love Apart, 2005)...receives an unusual message...that she will meet a French man] who "sings the song of her] soul." An] honest portrayal of her struggle to come to terms with her own life... S]he doesn't hesitate to expose her own foibles and mistakes... The chapters on her trips to Saint Martin and France are especially enjoyable, merging memoir with travelogue, and the poems embedded in the text offer a respite... An unusual, touching account of a woman's search for self-acceptance." --Kirkus Reviews

"Many more of us have had experience of an altered reality than have had the courage to write about it, and few who have written of their metaphysical journey have done so as honestly and convincingly as Rogers. We travel with her as she learns from spirit guides that love doesn't have to be physical to be passionate and life-altering, that our deepest lessons require surrender of expectations and desires. Roger's prose provides a reliable vehicle on this journey and creates a satisfying read." --Peggy Tabor Millin, author of Women, Writing, and Soul-Making: Creativity and the Sacred Feminine
