Theresa Caputo is the endearing, engaging, extroverted and extremely likeable woman who describes herself in the opening of her TLC show as "a typical Long Island mom, except I talk to the dead."
She lives in Hicksville, New York which is a Long Island suburb with her husband Larry, her son Lawrence and her daughter Victoria. The entire family appears on the show "Long Island Medium" which is now in its fifth season on The Learning Channel and has developed a loyal following.
Although her family has become accustomed to sharing Theresa with the spirit world every day, sometimes it seems that spirit interferes (for lack of a better word) with their daily family life.
Theresa acknowledges this by saying her family sometimes takes a second seat to the ever-present spirits that are trying to communicate through her and that she simply “can't turn it off.â€
Included in this book are several of Theresa’s readings.
