What if a fascinating stranger knew you better than you know yourself? When her husband comes home with a farfetched story about eating dinner with someone he believes to be Jesus, Mattie Cominsky thinks this may signal the end of her shaky marriage. Convinced that Nick is, at best, turning into a religious nut, the self-described agnostic hopes that a quick business trip will give her time to think things through. On board the plane, Mattie strikes up a conversation with a fellow passenger. When she discovers their shared scorn for religion, she confides her frustration over her husband's recent conversion. The stranger suggests that perhaps her husband isn't seeking religion but true spiritual connection, an idea that prompts her to reflect on her own search for fulfillment. As their conversation turns to issues of spiritual longing and deeper questions about the nature of God, Mattie finds herself increasingly drawn to this insightful stranger. But when the discussion unexpectedly turns personal, touching on things she's never told anyone, Mattie is startled and disturbed. Who is this man who seems to peer straight into her soul?

requires thinking
This is one of the most thought provoking books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Mr. Gregory has a way of selecting the words that fit exactly into the storyline that he is presenting. I do not believe I have ever read a book that has continued to keep me as spellbound as this one did. I was looking forward to the next sentence, the next paragraph and the next page from the beginning to the last word of the book. I read the book at one sitting and never considered putting it down until the reading was completed.
