October 2025 — Ayn Dillard, a former ballet dancer, interior designer, and right/left brain integration specialist, invites readers to experience the final installment of her Feast of Men trilogy with Mirror of Illumination: A Heart Recaptured, A Soul Reborn. A story of understanding and survival, beginning at just one and a half years old, this conclusion explores the transformative power of self-awareness, healing, and the pursuit of authentic love.
Mirror of Illumination is the third book in the trilogy, following:
- Feast of Men: 'Story of a Woman’s Heart' — a woman’s magical, mysterious, and adventurous journey through men on her quest for genuine and lasting love, discovering the interplay of masculine and feminine energies, personal imprints, and self-healing.
- Reflections of the Curse: 'Journey of a Woman’s Heart' — Natalie’s saga continues through male archetypes, prophetic dreams, past life memories, and legal challenges, reflecting on the patterns of attraction, self-awareness, and the pursuit of authentic love.
In Mirror of Illumination, Dillard takes readers deeper into the emotional and psychological patterns that have shaped Natalie’s lifelong search for love. The names in this memoir have been changed. The story explores how each of us is a combination of male and female psychological aspects imprinted during childhood development and otherwise, which express outwardly in behaviors which either attract or repel certain people. Blending personal insight, emotional depth, and a touch of magic, the narrative prompts readers to ask themselves: Why are certain people drawn to you? Why are you drawn to them?
The surprise ending, drawn from Dillard’s real-life experiences, reveals the duplicity in the healthcare establishments and emphasises the importance of staying aware and proactive about your health. Each of us must learn about our bodies.
Dillard’s perspective is informed by her own life experiences and her bestselling work, Daddy Throws Me in the Air, which explores childhood memories, negative imprints, and the process of emotional healing. Through her writing and kinesiology expertise, she guides readers to recognize the impact of past experiences, release limiting beliefs, and break repetitive patterns that affect relationships and self-perception.
Mirror of Illumination is written for readers aged 16 and older, appealing to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their connections. Through Dillard’s thoughtful storytelling, readers are invited to explore the interplay of attraction, healing, and self-discovery, making this memoir both reflective and engaging.
