"Strange and powerful... the most resonant and touching love story I've read in a very long time." Lauren Groff, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Fates and Furies and The Matrix

During WWII, teenager Evelyn Roe is sent to manage the family farm in rural North Carolina, where she finds what she takes to be a badly burned soldier on their property. She rescues him, and it quickly becomes clear he is not a man... and not one of us. The rescued body recovers at an unnatural speed, and just as fast, Evelyn and Adam fall deeply in love.

In The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope, Rhonda Riley reveals the exhilarating, terrifying mystery inherent in all relationships: No matter how deeply we love someone, and no matter how much we will sacrifice for them, we can only know them so well...

"An incredible, otherworldly love story... [that] reads with the urgency of a lifelong secret finally confessed." -- Julianna Baggott, national bestselling author of Pure and Girl Talk

"Riley's exquisite language draws the reader into this improbable, beautifully rendered, somewhat biblical love story... irresistible, tender, and provocative." -- Library Journal

"[A] lyrical, tender love story with a sophisticated depiction of a supernatural sentient being... [A] compelling story." -- Publishers Weekly

"Riley's unusual meditation on the private worlds we build to shelter our partners and our children is written with earthiness and deep appreciation for the power of the land... Both dreamily erotic and filled with the relatable minutiae of day-to-day life." -- Shelf Awareness
