Julie and Jim Bragg were grief-stricken when the sheriff and chaplain left, their sons Brax and Taylor, homebound on a July road trip, had been killed on a Texas highway. Within the hour, as family gathered, baffling events occurred. A young stranger, clothed in white, visible only to Julie, walked slow circles in the yard. A new vase of lilies was on the piano, though no one had placed it there. Three weeks later, friends presented a memorial concert, calling it Bragg Jam, and the brothers' legacy was born. Their sister Anne phoned her mother to say she was with a client who claimed to hear her brothers' voices repeating, "Talk to my mama!" Caution melted with Julie's first compelling exchange with this woman, who later visited the Bragg home to channel spirits--not only of sons, but of ancestors who spoke of gifts and solutions to earlier mysteries. The Braggs realized that by getting on with their sadly changed lives, the family would honor their sons and eventually survive grief.
