The Magnificent Bridge is a poetic portrayal of a young woman's identity-shattering illumination. In turmoil over the post 9/11 state of the world, the protagonist gazes at her reflection in the mirror and, in a moment of radiance, realizes she is not what she has always assumed herself to be. Stunned at her discovery, Isabelle struggles to come to terms with a new perception that shows her she is more spirit than body, more consciousness than woman or even mother. Isabelle's spiritual awakening is quickly followed by a dark night of the soul in which she falls in love with a man who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. On a magnificent bridge between Heaven and Earth, unable to quiet her heart's calling, she finds that she must choose between the family she adores and the man whose simple, magnetic presence stirs her soul. A Course In Miracles quotes are woven throughout the story, compelling the reader to pause and reflect on the depth and power of the book's heartfelt message. It is a message of truth and surrender that has the ability to awaken its readers and to assist them in their transformation into unity consciousness.
