Book Cover & Preview Text
"Truth? What do you children know about truth? For all you know,there is no such thing as truth," Glimmer nearly growled these words at the two children, startling them.
"We really must go, Mr. Glimmer. Thank you!" They scurried out, shutting the door firmly behind them. Behind them came the unicorn.
Outside, they deeply breathed the fresh night air. They set off briskly, leaving the eerie place behind them. After they'd turned a corner, Merrie turned to her brother and asked, very seriously, "Joey, is there such a thing as truth? I mean, what if he's right?"
Almost instinctively, the children turned to the unicorn and asked him, "Providence, what do you think? Is there such a thing as truth?"
"Truth says there is a way that seems right to men, but in the end it leads to death and destruction," came the answer from Providence.
"That's why we couldn't find our way in the House of Mirrors, isn't it? asked Merrie thoughtfully.
"Yes, Little Sister. In order to find your way, you need to dedicate yourself to searching for truth. When you know the Truth, the Truth will set you free." The words of the unicorn were soft but had an honest ring to the children.
"Then let's look for it! Let's search for the truth, Joey!"
"We can call it a Truth Quest! exclaimed Joey, catching his sister's excitement.
"OK, let's go!" Before Joey or Merrie could say another word, they found themselves seated on the back of the beautiful unicorn and rising into the cooling night air. They were on their way.

About the Book
Brother and sister Merrie and Joey visit the carnival at the invitation of their cousin. A trip into the House of Mirrors makes them realize things are not what they seem. Things that appear truthful are not always so, which makes these curious siblings wonder, “What is Truth?”
They soon meet an unusual friend: a beautiful, wise white unicorn named Providence. Together, they journey to seek Truth. They look in many places. They search through the printed word, the media, and the opinions of their peers. The children even investigate the truth of drugs, magic, and emotions.
Eventually, with Providence’s help, Merrie and Joey learn of the ongoing war between the great Truth Maker and the Truth Hater. They must choose a side in this war, and the decision they make could lead others to Truth or into darkness.
