Reality Illusion* follows Arthur, a Columbus psychologist questioning his own sanity while helping patients navigate theirs. Between a wife who sees through him, a six-year-old daughter who narrates life like a nature documentary, and a cat he suspects is a government spy, Arthur discovers that reality isn't one-size-fits-all. Through ceiling fan phobias, satellite mind-rays, and symbolic lawnmowers, this warm, witty novel explores the stories we tell ourselves to survive—and the beautiful illusion of building a life with people you love, even when nothing feels quite real.
