\"\"<\/a>I love magicians and I love Frank Peretti, so I figured this book would be a winner and it was! It was incredible! Astounding!\u00a0 Oh no, wait, that was from the magician\u2019s poster.<\/p>\n

Seriously, Illusion<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is a great book. I was completely hooked and totally puzzled by page 8. The story begins with the death of a beloved wife and moves into the perplexing story of a young girl waking up with no memory of how she arrived from a trip to the county fair in 1971 to the same spot, dressed now in a hospital gown, in 2011.<\/p>\n

How she copes with her new life, how her story intertwines with the widower\u2019s, and how together they figure out what happened is the rest of the story.<\/p>\n

Mandy is a delightful character, full of life, joy and determination in spite of her baffling circumstances. The widower, Dane, is strong, faithful and true. This is a beautiful love story, a story of love that refuses to be defeated and will not give up. At once a story of mystery and love, is also a story of time travel, science gone too far, and bad guys who will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. Lest that sound too pat, remember, it\u2019s a story of magic and surprises. I was intrigued from beginning to end, and thoroughly enjoyed this story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
