One Night Two Souls Went Walking

"I believe in expecting light. That's my job." A hospital chaplain offers compassion to her patients over the course of one eventful night shift, and finds some for herself, too.

Description

A young interfaith chaplain is joined on her hospital rounds one night by an unusual companion: a rough-and-tumble 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 humour, Ellen Cooney, author of A Mountaintop School for Dogs and Other Second Chances, returns to Coffee House Press with a generous, intelligent novel. One Night Two Souls Went Walking grants the most challenging moments of the human experience a shimmer of light and magical possibility.
