When you stumble into a new book, you never know what you are going to get. It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, when I read a story, I get another piece of the puzzle for my own life. That’s exactly what happened to me the other night after I finished the metaphysical fiction, Changing Planes, by author Laurie J. Brenner.

When I opened up my order from Amazon, in a way, I was relieved it was not a big book. Though I love reading, I just don’t have the time to read a longer novel, and my attention often wonders. No so with this little book, when I picked it up, I couldn’t put it down until I was done.

I’m a writer myself, and I cannot describe my experience while reading this book. You’ll have to read it yourself to understand. The book seems alive — it came alive for me and I felt as if it were me going through these experiences. It gave me personal insight into my own life, without preaching to me and telling me what I needed to do — it did so through the simple unfolding of the story.

This book needs to be read by millions, and preferably — women, though from what I understand from the author’s page, men have liked it too. But it’s a woman’s story through and through.

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.

These strange occurrences continue after the plane leaves the ground and rapidly escalate until Madison can no longer deny that something extraordinary is going on.

When she leaves the plane after it lands, she suddenly realizes that she has not arrived at her intended destination. Instead, she is greeted by her long deceased grandfather at the airplane’s gate.

Madison’s journey here forward is the adventure of all adventures, the look behind the curtain. You are compelled to read on to discover what she finds and what happens to her in the long run.

What happens to you as you read this story, is something just short of a miracle as you begin to see yourself in Madison and experience what she experiences. By the time you reach the end (which you don’t want to happen), you are shocked clear out of your senses. You experience an ending that comes out of left field and truly takes you by surprise. It is here that you realize that all things are possible, not only for Madison, but for you as well.

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.

But there’s much more to the book than that. Laurie J. Brenner is a true storyteller of old, taking you on a journey right out of this world, and bringing you back safely home, changed in the process.

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.
