Laurie J. Brenner…An Authentic Storyteller
by D. R. Patrick, creator of WISHADOO.com
First of all, I LOVE the cover image for “Changing Planes.” I admit: I’m often truly attracted to a book based on the cover. I’m also attracted to clever titles, and Ms. Brenner nailed it with “Changing Planes.” Indeed, she is a clever writer, and has created a story which is simultaneously complex yet simple, appealing to readers from all walks of life.
I immediately identified with the engagingly real main character, Madison. Through Madison and her experience in “Changing Planes,” I found myself at times laughing out loud and near tears at other times, though always deep in thought — without always being aware of it — as the story pulled me along.
Complex ideas are interwoven throughout the story, yet in a way that leaves you eager to ponder these ideas further rather than more confused than ever, as has often been my experience when reading books delving into spirituality.
I very much enjoyed the writing style of Ms. Brenner; she has a carefree manner of an authentic storyteller which is so rare nowadays. She shares a story but oh so much more in the process. By the time you’ve finished reading “Changing Planes,” she has triggered a desire to write — or rewrite — your own life story…on many levels. Highly recommended!
A Literary Gem that will Shift Your Perception of Reality
By author Sandra Carrington-Smith
It doesn’t happen often that one stumbles into a new book and sees many pieces of the puzzle of life suddenly fall into place. That was my experience a few nights ago, as I got lost in the timeless words of Changing Planes by Laurie Brenner.
When I received my order from Amazon, I was relieved the book was not too long, and I figured I would read it in a just a few days. As it turned out, I couldn’t put it down, and I finished reading it the next day.
I don’t think words can properly convey what I gained from reading this book, and since I believe that each person benefits differently from the same experience, I won’t bore you with details of why this book is just so amazing to me – I will let you decide for yourself how it will affect your life.
Changing Planes tells the story of Madison, a young and ambitious VP of an upper scale department store. The moment Madison reaches her gate and waits to board a plane headed to the Caribbean, odd things begin to happen, but she quickly quiets her screaming intuition down with a pacifier of rational explanations. Strange occurrences continue after the plane takes off, and they rapidly escalate until Madison has two choices – she can ignore the gifts given to her and continue her life with a limited perception, or she can embrace a new reality and change her world.
The end of the book is jarring to the senses, as the reader awakens to the awareness of how choices made throughout life can deeply affect every step of our journey. Our lives are so intricately interconnected with those of others that a small change can alter the course of many destinies.
Changing Planes made me laugh and cry, but mostly it gave me the opportunity to take an honest glimpse deep down within my own soul. As I held the book in my hand, I felt almost as if Universe had gifted me with an extra chip to play a more exciting game.
Laurie Brenner’s style of writing is delightful and easy to follow, sprinkled with just enough humor to make it appealing to the young and old alike, and her spiritual lessons are powerful enough to make the story unforgettable.
Changing Planes is not just a story; it can be YOUR story, if you dare to look within with an open mind and a heart ready for personal transformation.
A Movie Your Heart Reads
by John Doyle
“Laurie Brenner combines heart-felt emotion, psychology, fantasy, quantum physics—and, oh, yes, the ultimate wish-fulfillment in Changing Planes. Her characters, so completely drawn in very few words, drive the story on a direct but absolutely unknown course.
In Changing Planes, Laurie’s near-cinematic journey brings you face-to-face with your own Insights in a movie your Heart reads as you experience several of the most satisfying Aha! moments in print.”

Goosebumps with this Metaphysical Fiction Novella
“Changing Planes had me up into the wee hours last night. (Great company to combat my husband’s endless snoring!) I don’t know how my giant protruding goosebumps didn’t push him out of bed. Oooh, getting them again just thinking about it.
Been a while since I wept for joy but I was doing just that when I put the last page down.”
