The Transformation Of Things

Women's Fiction Contemporary

When Jennifer Levenworth's life begins to crumble around her, the dreams into her loved one's lives begin.

Prepare to find a new women's fiction favorite in Jillian Cantor. With a deft and graceful pen, Ms. Cantor introduces us to the easy to relate to Jennifer Levenworth. Muck like the famous prison that shares her name, Jennifer's perfect life is crumbling.

Her husband, the always steady judge, is indited for bribery. Her socialite friends abandon her to save face. She is held prisoner by the choices and sacrifices that she is unwilling or too indecisive to make. As the life she and her husband created begins to fall away, the dreams begin, and Jennifer experiences the lives of those closest to her.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THINGS is an elegantly moving tale of courage, truth, reality, and love. It is the story of what really happens when the deepest darkest parts of those that we claim to love become real to us.

Highly recommended and deeply satisfying in her first foray into women's fiction, Cantor has become one of my authors to watch.

SUMMARY

What if the reality you thought you knew was nothing but a fantasy? Jennifer Levenworth has a great, big, pounding headache. It could be because her husband, a judge, is indicted on bribery charges, leaving her unsure about everything in her marriage. Or it could be caused by the media, who are relentlessly covering the story. Or because the friends Jennifer thought she knew and trusted have turned their backs on her in her greatest hour of need.

And then the dreams begin…

And while Jennifer sleeps, she swears she can see—and hear -- her friends' and family’s most private moments. Soon Jennifer realizes she is actually learning the truth about their lives, leading her to also question everything she thought she knew about herself. But when the dreams start to reveal a startling reality, can Jennifer find the strength to ultimately transform her life?

“The Transformation of Things is an elegant and involving page-turner about perception, truth and what’s really true about each of our lives. Part mystery, part love story, part coming of age, it is a wonderful book. I could not stop reading!” — Barbara O'Neal, author of The Secret of Everything
