Publisher Description
What if a fascinating stranger knew you better than you know yourself?
When her husband comes home with a farfetched story about eating dinner with someone he believes to be Jesus, Mattie Cominsky thinks this may signal the end of her shaky marriage. Convinced that Nick is, at best, turning into a religious nut, the self-described agnostic hopes that a quick business trip will give her time to think things through.
On board the plane, Mattie strikes up a conversation with a fellow passenger. When she discovers their shared scorn for religion, she confides her frustration over her husband’s recent conversion. The stranger suggests that perhaps her husband isn’t seeking religion but true spiritual connection, an idea that prompts her to reflect on her own search for fulfillment.
As their conversation turns to issues of spiritual longing and deeper questions about the nature of God, Mattie finds herself increasingly drawn to this insightful stranger. But when the discussion unexpectedly turns personal, touching on things she’s never told anyone, Mattie is startled and disturbed. Who is this man who seems to peer straight into her soul?

An Enjoyable Quick Read
This is the second part to Dinner with a Perfect Stranger. Sometimes we're disappointed with sequels, but this was not the case for me here. Mattie is exasperated by her husband Nick's sudden new obsession with Jesus. Mattie views an out-of-town business trip as a welcome opportunity to reflect on their marriage, and to decide if it's time to put an end to this painfully unrewarding relationship. Aboard the plane, Mattie finds herself next to a passenger who shares her scorn for religion. Their conversation soon leads to a fascinating exploration of spirituality, God, and the quest for meaningful connection. As his comments touch on personal issues He couldn't possibly know about, she begins to wonder if she's misjudged not only Nick but also the One he now claims to believe in. According to Wikipedia, this book was the inspiration behind a film called Another Perfect Stranger.
