I know you’re not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover, but when I first looked at Changing Planes, I was totally intrigued. The midnight blue of the sky and the water are mirror images of each other and it makes you think of when you have two mirrors and reflect them back to each other so that you can see infinity in them. This book was like that. It gave me a glimpse of infinity, something I never believed possible.
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.
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 should be read by millions. Don’t be left out — this is going to be a big hit, I can tell, I have a sense about these things — and it would translate very well into a movie, especially with all the special effects that they can do nowadays. If you can get through it without crying, then your heart has turned into a rock, this book may well be what the doctor ordered to turn it to flesh once again.
You’ll join Madison Reeves, VP of a upper scale department store, as she 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. She senses something is about to happen. Little does she know what that will mean for her.
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.
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.
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.
As you follow along with Madison, you see yourself in her shoes, and experience what she experiences. And when you reach the end, you are jarred clear out of your senses. If you read this book and do not realize how our journey in this life is interwoven with the lives of those we love and touch and that small changes we make affect those around us — then you must be asleep at the wheel.
When I looked into the pages of Changing Planes, it was like looking into the mirror of my own soul and finding love and forgiveness there. That alone was worth the read.
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.
