When you find a new book by chance, you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes, when I read a story, I go away with a deeper understanding and another piece of the puzzle for my own life. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, I am thrilled to the core. That’s exactly what I experienced the other night as I finished the metaphysical fiction — Changing Planes, by award winning author Laurie J. Brenner.
I was very thankful that when the book came from Amazon, that it was a little book, a novella, if you will, because frankly, I just don’t have the time to read 1000 page novels. I love them, but I get lost after the first few pages. Not so with Changing Planes. When I opened it up and started reading, I couldn’t put it down.
Even though I write for a living, I don’t have the words to describe the richness this little story provided me. It gave me such an insight into my own life and my own need of
Everybody should read this book, especially women. And if you can get through it without crying, then your heart is more than hardened, it has turned to stone. Maybe this book is what you need to read. Maybe you experienced something similar to what it’s main character, Madison Reeves experienced. Her heart opens wide enough for us to see inside.
Madison Reeves, a young, ambitious VP of a high-end department store, is about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. She doesn’t know it as she heads for the airport on a Caribbean vacation, yet something nags at her, deep in the recesses of her mind.
The moment Madison reaches the airport terminal, odd things begin to happen to her but she quiets her unrest and her rumbling intuition, blaming it on being overstressed and overworked.
Things get odder and odder and rapidly escalate into events that are out of this world until Madison can no longer deny that she has left ordinary far behind.
After leaving the plane as she enters the airport terminal she realizes that “she isn’t in Kansas any more.” She faints when her long deceased grandfather meets her at the airport gate.
Madison is on a journey that most souls don’t get to remember or tell as she has found herself in the world between worlds — that place between the living and the dead.
The end of the story takes a turn unexpected — as the reader awakens to the awareness of how paths taken through life deeply affect those we love and every step of our journey. It is here we discover that because our lives are so finely woven into the tapestries of our families and friends’ lives that a small change can alter the course of many futures.
In each page of Changing Planes, it was if there were a mirror looking back at me, reflecting back to me the image of myself in its pages. I found healing in between the pages of this wonderful little book.
An easy read, Laurie Brenner delights and entertains and keeps you turning the pages. It is appealing to the young and old alike and the spiritual lessons Madison undertakes are “powerful enough to make the story unforgettable,” says author Sandra Carrington-Smith.
When I put the book down, I did not want it to end. Laurie Brenner is an authentic storyteller, a bard of old, who shares her story from the heart — don’t be fooled by its size, this little gem packs its weight in spiritual gold.
