Others love to brag about Illusions as well.  So we’ll let them do it for us.  After the book synopsis and pictures on this page, there are several fabulous, unsolicited book reviews that Sissy Marlyn has received.

Synopsis

What’s this magical novel all about?  Read on.  Below is an inviting synopsis of Illusions:

Illusions is the absorbing story of the lives and dreams of three children – how each child is affected by their parents’ fears and misconceptions - and their challenging journey into adulthood.

Mason: Oldest child of Jackie Lynn and Long Wolf Greathouse. Mason discovers he has an enormous talent for music and songwriting. He grapples with the fact that his father’s aspirations for him are far different. As he struggles through his teenage years, he is incessantly tempted by a younger, forbidden girl’s charms and wiles. Will he succumb to this temptation?

Katie Rose: Mason’s younger sister. She is loyal to all with a fierce, independent spirit, like her mother. She has an unshakable love for her family and her best friend, Callie. Katie Rose’s intense desire is to someday run her father’s construction company. Will her father ever entertain this notion and help make her dream come true?

Callie: Mary Julia and Jonathan Robert’s only child. Callie leads a sheltered life, devoid of affection from her father. She is determined and devious when crossed. Callie’s only dream and ambition seems to be to capture the affections of a strikingly handsome older boy, who dodges her endeavors at every turn. Will she succeed in capturing the young man of her dreams?

Celebrities Who Have a Copy

Still not absolutely convinced you should own this novel?  Why on earth not?!  Just look who else has a copy of this awesome novel:

Sissy Marlyn meets Robin Roberts and gives her a copy of Illusions. We met Diane Sawyer last October, so it was a thrill to meet Robin this time!

But Sissy Marlyn was not done giving gifts to her friends at GMA. What a great group of people.

Left - We presented Tony Perkins with a Kentucky Colonials Certificate. Right - I gave Samantha Green - GMA Audience Coordinator a copy of my latest novel. She enjoys a good book. She is a very hard worker and a very sweet lady!

Book Reviews

Book Reviews:

It's good.  It's about true things that happen in life.  My husband had to force me to put it down or I would have finished it in one sitting.  Mary N.

My wife came into the den saying, "Oh, you won't believe what Callie is doing in this book!"  Then she turned and left the room to read some more.  Mario

Just finished Illusions and I couldn't put it down. I had my nose in it all weekend. You are doing fantastic. Keep up the great work and let me know when the next one comes out. Lisa

WOW!!!! What an incredible book, "Illusions" is ! I read the entire book in one sitting and of course am again, eagerly awaiting the final book in the trilogy, "Indecisions". I don't know how I can survive until December or possibly January of next year to read the final part of this incredible story. I am thoroughly impressed with your talented writings and warm, passionate storylines. PLEASE let me know as soon as "Indecisions" is available to the public. Thanks again for such a wonderful writing and all of your help in mailing an autographed copy of "Illusions" and of course the autographed copy of "Intimacies" I purchased at the St. Louis women's show. Good luck with all of your writing endeavors and include me among your many fans. Vera

I love this one too!  Thanks!  Donna

Illusions has more suspense than Intimacies did.  I read it in just two days.  It was very good.  I enjoyed reading it.  Pat M.

I loved Illlusions too!  I am counting the days until Indecisions is available!  Margaret

It was great!  I never thought that girl would straighten up.  What was she thinking, flaunting herself and flirting with guys the way she was?  I read it every chance I got until I finished it.  I can't wait to read the next one.  Mary N.

I couldn't put it down!  When does the next one come out? It amazes me!  It all seems so real!  Denise W.

I just finished the second book.  It was great.  Let me know when the next one come out and I will buy it!  Allison I.
