Synopsis:
On the day of her mother's funeral, twenty-three-year-old Grace Maxwell discovered the man who raised her was not her biological father. Instead, her "real" father was a best-selling self-help author and a world famous "Guru to the Stars." Known as Mr. MAJIC for the miraculous impact his books and seminars had on millions of people, he had inexplicitly vanished around the time Grace's mother became pregnant with her.
For over 20 years, the mystery of Mr. MAJIC’s sudden and unexpected disappearance, and the speculation of what might have become of him, was the stuff of Urban Legend. The theories ranged from he was a homeless bum living under a bridge in the Bay Area to his most avid fans claiming he had attained divine enlightenment and had ascended straight to heaven. Even nearly a quarter of a century later, on the anniversary of his disappearance, there would be stories in the media asking what ever happened to Mr. MAJIC?

Even nearly a quarter of a century later, on the anniversary of his disappearance, there would be stories in the media asking what ever happened to Mr. MAJIC?
Among her mother's things, Grace discovered MAJIC's long missing and thought lost forever unpublished manuscript, "The True Path to Enlightenment." The manuscript was considered to be the Holy Grail of self-help books and was worth a king's ransom. The problem for Grace, before anyone would publish the book, she must prove the manuscript was not a fake. This was no small task, considering the only person who could provide the definitive confirmation hasn't been seen or heard from in over two decades. With the help of her fellow Generation Z sister and an old-school, hard-boiled detective that had made finding MAJIC his life's work, Grace goes on a quest to find the elusive Mr. MAJIC.
Along the way she meets her perfect soulmate and finds true inner-peace and a state of wellbeing she had previously thought unimaginable.

Review:
I read a preview of the first chapter and was 100% hooked! i was so glad I grabbed the book to read, as I KNOW it will be one of the most talked about books this year! For those that like the 'new age' mystical thought processed, they are well wrapped around a solid mystery, that mystery lovers, and those who like good family dysfunctional fiction, will love as well. I read this book in 2 sittings, only because I started it too late at night! It's a very quick read, especially if you don't get too bogged down in the 'enlightenment tutorials' (which basically comes down to "let go and forgive"...). For those that like them, they are well rounded and plenty of instruction is given...
All families have some secrets, and in this book, those secrets are based on false assumptions and feelings, things most families also know! The fiction itself is a well rounded story, even if you DO guess who Mr Majic is pretty early on, it's all about the path traveled by Grace and her sister, and the path that the future holds for them. you'll be talking about this with all your friends, when you finish it, so don't miss it!
