LITTLE VOICES: A MEMOIR
OVERVIEW
Little Voices is the true story of an ordinary woman’s unexpected psychic mediumship journey that uncovered buried secrets of sexual abuse in her own life and the lives of children murdered long ago—and helped her escape the grasp of a seductive predator who nearly destroyed her life.
Never in a million years did Kiersten Parsons Hathcock—a Shark Tank–winning entrepreneur with an internationally known furniture company—think she would suddenly start channeling children in spirit at the age of thirty-six. She never expected that, while she was helping them reveal the secrets of their deaths, they would help her see dark and painful secrets buried in her own psyche.
As a skeptic and firm believer in science, she struggled with her newfound intuitive skills and the reason they were coming to light. She powered through fear to reach out to strangers and law enforcement with the messages she received. After receiving validation that what she was experiencing was real, helping families and law enforcement became a mission. It had to be—the kids were coming to her for help. One question remained: Why was this happening to her? And the answer was startling. The children were coming to help Kiersten as much as she was helping them. Before she could understand that, though, this happily married mother would have to stumble down a destructive path under a spell cast by a narcissistically abusive predator to learn to trust and use intuition to heal her childhood trauma—and escape a dangerous man she thought she loved.
While Kiersten’s late-in-life mediumship ability is extraordinary, the wounds she’d buried that led her on a toxic path is a story many can relate to. Little Voices vividly inspires everyone to explore their own patterns, uncover their hidden pain, and trust their intuition in order to rise from the ashes.

"Kiersten’s story teaches us that narcissistic abuse and coercive and controlling relationships scramble even the deepest metaphysical intuition. Little Voices teaches us how insidious these dynamics are, the trauma and generational issues that are activated, and how easy it is to get stuck in the cycle of confusion and self-blame. By telling her first person story in a vulnerable and raw way, Kiersten reminds us that narcissistic and abusive relationships have a unique architecture, and represent a gradual process of grooming, gaslighting, and indoctrination. Even when the voices around her and in her are trying to guide her out, her story shines a light on how shame can be weaponized to keep anyone stuck and isolated in a toxic relationship. This book is in essence a compendium of red flags and can serve as a valuable teaching tool on how to listen to our inner voices and our guides; and to clearly heed these warning signs and act on them swiftly. One person’s story can be a powerful lesson and motivator for change for others who find themselves in these kinds of relationships, and reminds survivors that you are not alone."

Little Voices Foreword by NYPD Homicide Detective, Mark Pucci (Ret.)
"Spending most of my adult life as a detective, private investigator, or investigation supervisor, both in public service as a Detective in the NYPD and in the private sector working cases nationwide, I unconsciously developed a sixth sense, or implicit intuition, for reading people and uncovering the truth. While most police detectives and professional investigators I know and have worked with will not openly speak admit using their intuition to solve cases, it’s succinctly presumed by all that following our gut-feelings often makes the difference in discovering hidden evidence to solve a case, or in certain extreme circumstances, may even prove to be the decision that will inevitably save your life or that of your partner.
I strongly believe that developing the ability to listen, understand, trust, and then follow my intuition has definitively made me a better detective, and quite possibly resulted in many of my greatest successes and accomplishments as a police detective, and more recently as a private investigator.
Thinking back to before we had the opportunity to speak on the phone, I remember asking myself, “What is this furniture company CEO from Arizona doing volunteering to assist on a high-profile missing persons case in Long Island, New York?” That being said, when I finally had the chance to speak to Kiersten on the phone for the first time, my intuition kicked into full gear. Much to my surprise, not long into our conversation, I realized that she was unlike any other intuitive medium I had spoken to through the years. She explained to me that she recently discovered that she possessed certain abilities that might assist investigators in finding missing persons, and that she was simply looking to volunteer her time because she cared. I eventually came to understand, as time went on, and I got to know Kiersten personally, that she had truly been given a gift for helping others in this way . . . especially kids.
More precisely, what I love about Kiersten, as is illustrated in her book, is that she’s just a regular person thrown into supernatural experiences that unbeknownst to her at that time, had meaning far beyond what she could see. The belief in what we can’t see, especially as a detective looking for quantifiable, tangible evidence, is extremely difficult. However, Kiersten makes it easy to believe. In her moving story and journey, we can see that she is just like most of us; she is extremely logical and fact driven. The most amazing part of her journey is that she wasn’t looking for any of what has happened to her . . . it simply found her.
Thankfully, in writing this book, Kiersten was brave enough to share her undercover life as a reluctant medium, and her amazing journey of survival and healing from abuse. After reading her book, I hope you find the same strength and fearlessness, and you learn to trust your own intuition. What Kiersten reveals to all of us is a hands-on roadmap for life, and as it has proven to be in my personal experience, for truth and justice as well."

From Celebrity Designer, Author, and TV Star, Kelli Ellis...
“Little Voices is a life changing book! Not only will it make even the biggest skeptic believe in intuition, but it will also connect the dots for millions of abuse survivors. Reading about how Kiersten used intuition to survive and heal from childhood sexual abuse and, later on in life, narcissistic abuse, hit home personally and was incredibly inspiring. I come from 5 generations of strong intuitive “knowing” women, and even then, at some moments in all of our lives, we ignored that thing we trust the most and found ourselves in incredible situations. I know many people will relate and be inspired by this book!” Kelli Ellis, Celebrity Designer, Artist, and Author | HGTV | BRAVO TV | TLC | TDN |
From Emmy award-winning journalist and editor, Bonnie Stevens
"Kiersten Hathcock’s memoir, Little Voices, offers a refreshing, bold, and at times, chilling account of the upside-down entangled world of relationships with a charming and handsome narcissist. Add in the power of intuition and a painful past, and readers will no doubt be impressed by her determination to find answers in detective work, as an entrepreneur and in life. Most of us become familiar with narcissists before we have a name for these individuals. No doubt, her painful examples and therapeutic explanations will help hordes of individuals learn how to recognize this dangerous personality and muster the strength to walk away from it. Kiersten writes with the ease and grace of an experienced storyteller, craftily keeping readers on the edge of their seats and anxious to dive head on into the next chapter. Kiersten, thank you for putting yourself out there!" --- Bonnie Stevens, Emmy award-winning journalist and editor |

As someone who has experienced and written about near death and the spiritual journey which comes from it, I am blown away by Kiersten’s authentic, down-to-earth approach of how becoming a later-in-life medium goes beyond a leap of faith, it's a deep dive into a knowing. If you’re wondering if intuition is real and if it can save your life, this book is for you.”

From Internationally Renowned Medical and Spiritual Intuitive & Author, Katie Beecher“Little Voices is the rare type of book that speaks to nearly every audience including trauma survivors, women searching for their own identities, people struggling to connect to their intuition, entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs, people trying to improve their relationships, law enforcement and individuals interested in mediumship and psychic abilities. It’s touching, funny, dark, joyful and disturbing – in all of the best and most intriguing ways.
As a Medical and Spiritual Intuitive and Licensed Professional Counselor, I was impressed by Kiersten’s ability to captivate me with stories of supernatural abilities and previously unremembered childhood trauma with eloquence and sincerity. I was inspired by her entrepreneurial spirit, incredible self-created furniture company and her difficult to accomplish appearance and deal on Shark Tank. I looked forward to each page, not wanting to put it down, and I wanted to know more when it was over. I highly recommend Little Voices for your book collection. It will inspire you to learn more about your own untapped intuitive abilities and to trust and strengthen the ones you already have. It will encourage you to be your authentic self and pursue those dreams you never thought possible and it will teach you that life is too short to put up with any negativity or sadness.” Katie Beecher, Internationally renowned medical and spiritual intuitive, licensed professional counselor, and author of Soul Inspired Healing (St. Martin’s Press, 2021) |
From Abuse Survivor, Author, Coach, and Speaker, Rachael Wolff"Little Voices was a memoir I couldn’t put down. Kiersten Parsons Hathcock’s story is one that every woman should read. She gives tons of examples of how she tapped into her intuition, while also showing the humanness of what can happen when we don’t listen. As a psychological and emotional abuse survivor, she could have been talking about my ex and I wouldn’t have known the difference. This is a book every abuse survivor would benefit from because they would see that they are not alone. Non-abuse survivors would get the insight to why victims keep going back and some of the shame the victims feel when they go back, don’t leave, or isolate from the people they love. Now, if that wasn’t enough to keep a person reading, she shows you a whole other side of herself along her special gifts. We get to see all these amazing parts of her that include being a medium and a self-taught carpenter who was on Shark Tank. Her story is a human story. It includes childhood sexual abuse, love, marriage, children, career, challenges, mistakes, downward spirals, intuitive gifts, helping others, and vulnerability. Her bravery and honesty are awe-inspiring. Life isn’t always pretty, but learning and exposing the truth in the pain is essential to live an empowered life."

A few more words...
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have read numerous excellent self-help books and memoirs on all kinds of abuse. Rarely have I come across one in which childhood sexual abuse, marital codependent behaviors, and partner narcissistic abuse were presented in a narrative which so painfully and yet prophetically links them together. Little Voices accomplishes this and so much more. With her raw, authentic detailing of the abuses she endured along with her unorthodox gifts from the spirit world, Kiersten Parsons Hathcock’s memoir reminds us that until we heal the wounds within us, tragically we are drawn to external sources of validation – some healthy and some dangerous. Perhaps what is most noteworthy of Hathcock’s memoir is her unwavering commitment to accountability, integrity, and truth – with herself and with others. We are not left feeling sorry for Little Voices. We are cheering with her and rooting for her all the way."

Author Breaking Through Betrayal: And Recovering The Peace Within 2nd Edition
"No one can understand what it's like to try to love a narcissist unless they've experienced it firsthand and Kiersten's book, Little Voices is further validation of that for me. Not only was I so drawn into Kiersten's story that I read it in one sitting, but the way in which she shares her experience had me on the edge of my seat rooting for her every step of the way. Kiersten's story takes things to a level often unexplored as she teaches us how to tap into the power of our intuition and trust our gut as a way to heal from narcissistic abuse. It's not just a compelling story on how to recover from psychological and emotional abuse, but a love story on how to honor yourself in a way only you are capable of doing. Thank you for being such an inspiration, Kiersten, and showing us what we need is already inside of us. We just have to look within.
Lisa E. Scott, Best-selling Author of three books on narcissism including THE PATH FORWARD.
A rich, soulful and heartfelt journey of narcissistic abuse that mirrored my own experience so closely, at times, it took my breath away. If you are looking to gain an understanding of the dynamic played out between so many people in these relationships, Kiersten’s book is a must read.
Honest and vulnerable, she has helped me find my own forgiveness as to why I ended up in this cycle of abuse. Her courage in taking us through her story, gives us all courage.
The love of her family, gives us all an incredible example of what unconditional love looks like in action, not just words. If you are even slightly questioning the behavior of someone you love, friend, partner or work colleague, ‘Little Voices’ will undoubtedly give you some of those answers.'"
Shelley Buchanan, Founder/CEO, KINDARMA
Kiersten Hathcock, as a woman and as a writer, is filled with equal parts heart and grit. I know this after reading the book she wrote, because here she is embracing life with a sweet, strong family, her thriving home-grown business, and an honest, sought-after passion for intuitive healing. All of this is despite -- or maybe even because of -- having endured soul-crushing abuse. Twice. But not only has Kiersten risen above the odds, now she authentically shares how and why in her memoir, so that other women might learn the power of their own inner truths. It's a must read!"
Janna Leadbetter, Founder, Breaking the Silence for Women
You've got to read this book. I'm somebody who can usually sit and read for about 10 minutes at a time. But this book...I couldn't put down! I read it in one sitting. It's that good. Kiersten takes you on her journey, but it'll feel like you're right there with her. It feels like you're sitting on your couch with your best friend while she's telling you her experience. It doesn't matter if you think of yourself as an intuitive, or survivor of domestic violence, you'll learn from this book. It's going to change the way we think of domestic violence, and it's going to change the way you relate to yourself."
Holly Jaleski, Founder/Inventor - Grubcan
I'm done...covered in goosebumps and tears welled up in my eyes. My husband just said he's never seen me read so intently. I couldn't stop reading...you're an excellent writer."
Lisa K.
I consider myself a major skeptic about mediums or psychics, in general, but I didn’t feel that way at ALL when I read your book - I think it’s something about your very straight-forward delivery and not over-the-top descriptions. You keep it really solidly grounded while you’re sharing your bewilderment about it. The message from Nate’s dad was super powerful.."
Karen H.
IT'S BEYOND AMAZING. I could feel your pain in my bones; your fears and your excitement. I felt every emotion through your words. I can see beauty in this painful and hurting travel. Falling apart gave you a reason to build something beautiful. You rise from your own fallen ashes to become brighter and more beautiful than ever before. Like Chrysalis turning into a butterfly. This book will help so many souls."
