Overview

For fans of The Time Traveler's Wife, Life After Life, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Coincidence of Hope joins the paranormal stage in a World War II Americana novel like few others. It's 1944. Word War II is raging and Nebraska farm boy Joe Matthan is-without a single doubt in his young heart-in love. But he has other things on his mind, such as shipping off to Europe, leaving Elaine Johnson, and how it will affect her if he dies in battle. Which he does. When Joe loses his life in the war, he inexplicably lives on-as a ghost who inhabits the living. Although he clings to the hope of returning to Elaine to see what happened to her without him, he's all but given up on that possibility. But a number of coincidences have other plans. Over fifty years later, when Joe arrives in his hometown, a number of coincidences force him to ask why he didn't move on when he died, and-more importantly-if he must surrender his dream of being with Elaine again ... in the afterlife. An intriguing novel that weaves back and forth between the past and the present, which includes interesting combinations of character points of view and factual history, The Coincidence of Hope delves into the one challenge we all should meet: before judging others, we should place ourselves within their perspective, for they may be more like us than we care to admit.
