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.
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 ofThis 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. Changing Planes takes us into the world of Madison Reeves, a young and ambitious VP of an upper scale department store, about to embark on a Caribbean vacation and a whole new kind of journey. When Madison reaches the airport terminal, things begin to go awry, but not in a noticeable sense. After boarding the plane and taking off, the needled on the weird meter kick up a notch until Madison has to admit that something strange is indeed going on.
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 disembarks her plane in a airport terminal hung suspended between the worlds of the living and the dead, Madison realizes she isn't in “this” world any longer. This is confirmed when her long deceased grandfather meets her at her gate. She is unaware that she is embarking on a journey few live to tell of, because she has found herself in that place between worlds, between the lands of 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. Changing Planes not only made me laugh, it made me cry and gave me an opportunity to look into the mirror of my own soul. But there's more to the book than that. A wonderful story, Laurie Brenner is a true storyteller that doesn't bog you down with words that have no meaning — she gives you a succulent story and saves the best parts for last.
The story is unforgettable and you find it staying with you days after you've put it down. 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.
