A love story that will take your breath away.
In the waning months of World War II, young Evelyn Roe's life is transformed when she finds what she takes to be a badly burned solider, all but completely buried on her family's farm in North Carolina. She rescues him, and it quickly becomes clear he is not a simple 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.
But the small town where they live is not ready to accept the likes of Adam, and his unusual origin and supernatural gifts become the secret at the centre of their seemingly normal marriage... until a tragic accident reveals Adam's extraordinary character to the local community.
Intensely moving and an unforgettable love story, The Enchanted Life of Adam Hope illuminates the magic in ordinary life and inspires us to believe in the extraordinary.
