One Night Two Souls Went Walking

"I believe in expecting light. That's my job."

A young interfaith chaplain is joined on her hospital rounds one night by an unusual companion: a rough-and-ready dog who may or may not be a ghost. As she tends to the souls of her patients-young and old, living last moments or navigating fundamentally altered lives-their stories provide unexpected healing for her own heartbreak. Balancing wonder and mystery with pragmatism and humor, Ellen Cooney (The Mountaintop School for Dogs and Other Second Chances) returns with a generous, intelligent novel that grants the most challenging moments of the human experience a shimmer of light and magical possibility.
