| Plot Summary of The Magic Life - A Novel Philosophy |
"The Magic Life tells an intriguing story, a metaphysical mystery, that keeps you eagerly turning the pages while its life lessons fill the pages you turn. On one hand it's the story of a man who dreamt of becoming a magician, but instead became an accountant – a man who yearned for one particular woman, but never quite had the courage to tell her so. On the other, the story of an ordinary young man who learns far more about life, love, and the illusion of death, than he ever dreamed possible."
Ace Starry, Resident Scholar
