Blessing From Agnes is based on true events. It interweaves the struggles of the early Spiritualists and Karen's efforts to remain "normal" in an old western Pennsylvania steel town. It follows her as she discovers her true calling and rids herself of the expectations of her community, church, and family, to become a Spiritualist medium. The fight is not always easy, but like the Spiritualists who lived in New Castle 100 years before, she is determined to succeed.
