Illusion of Control - Loraine Haynie

Illusion of Control is the second book in the 'Illusion' series, following Illusion of Consent. These books highlight strong Christian women helping other women find success and happiness in a broken society.

With the support and financial backing of her family, Ashleigh Justice worked hard to get her architectural degrees at a school considered a man's college, and land a job in a typical man's profession in the 1980's. She thinks she has control of her life, until she realizes the values and mores of the 1980's prevents women from having control of any part of their lives. She faces sexual harassment and creates a group of professional women to protect their equal rights in the workplace. Along the way she finds it isn't easy to change society's culture.

Always looking to God for guidance in her life, she establishes a group of women to help her highlight attention to this problem at the state legislature. Her job is in jeopardy and her friendships suffer because of her commitment to women's issues. Her tenacity and dedication attract the attention of two men, the 'perfect man' and the 'right man'. Will she realize what she wants and needs in her life or will she lose them both?
