**“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*
