What if all the bad things that happened to you . . .
didn’t? What if all the accidents, all
the bad decisions, all the pain and suffering from diseases and cancers could
just be – skipped over?
In a poignant story of love, life, and loss, Frank Peroretti
crafts yet another page-turner of a novel.
Dane and Mandy had the storybook romance; married at a young age,
touring the world as a magician and beautiful assistant, taking the world by
storm and loving every minute they shared together. Then a motor vehicle accident took Mandy from
him, and Dane struggled to start over again.
At a small coffee shop, Dane is mesmerized by the 19-year
old beauty who is holding the audience spell-bound with her magic act. She is performing illusions that even he
can’t understand. More disconcerting is
the fact that her mannerisms, her quirks, her very persona is familiar . . .
hauntingly so. How could this be?
As Dane and his new protégé establish and begin to build a
new professional relationship, the uneasiness grows. As does the danger. And for Dane, the climax will be more than he
ever bargained for.
Frank Peretti does a thorough job at explaining otherwise
complex theories while keeping the reader firmly hooked with his masterful
prose and winsome storytelling.

Not sure if I've missed this site or not. I do have dementia and get a little confused from time to time. Anyway, this is a wonderful review and I plan to borrow this from the library soon. I haven't read anything by this author in a long time, so glad you brought him to my attention again. Blessings, Susan Fryman
