Overview

Winner of the 2025 Thomas E. Kennedy Novel Award Ensoulment, the moment at which a human being gains a soul... A story of epiphany, rebirth, and the mysterious forces that draw two disparate lives together in love. Swimming in a secluded lake near her Georgia home, 40-something waitress Phoebe is startled by a figure watching her from the shore. When she exits the water, nearly blind without her glasses, the stranger wrestles her to the stony ground and assaults her. Hundreds of miles north, family man and successful attorney George Paxton pauses in the midst of mowing his lawn to stretch out on the grass. Staring up into the vast blue sky he sees a dirigible float by overhead--a sight so inexplicably stirring, George vows to ply the skies in such a craft himself--consequences be damned. Ensoulment follows Phoebe as she juggles low paid work and an unforeseen pregnancy, and George as his obsession with airships compels him to abandon his marriage and lucrative career. Each shed the lives they have known to embrace the souls they were born to be, drawing toward each other in the process--in spirit and, ultimately, in fact, when George, aloft in his dirigible, is brought down to earth-and into Phoebe's world-by a raging storm.
