Born into an artistic, cultured publishing family in New York, Helen came west to Oakland in 1905 with her new husband, a Dutch-American from an old Bay Area family. They raised seven children to adulthood on a ranch on the Sacramento Delta. Along the way, Helen found a talent for, and fascination with, automatic writing -- a gift and a calling that baffled and disquieted many around her. What makes a person begin to channel eloquent and opinionated spirits? How real were these voices she channeled? Helen's "Masters" helped her to heal from an incurable illness, and gave her startlingly accurate business advice. But they were also contradictory and relentlessly demanding.
