FLIP - an excerpt from the novel by Steve Stinson

On the night Matt Andrews decides to abandon his pregnant girlfriend, a mysterious hitchhiker on a lonely crossroads witnesses his choice of direction. Matt flips a coin and picks East. A successful career and family blossom.

Sixteen years later, however, Matt is approached by the hitchhiker again, who flips a coin and shows Matt glimpses of what his life could have been had he stayed to raise his child.

As one coin flip follows another, Matt is transported back and forth between two lives and two families. Now, he must uncover the identity of the hitchhiker, why he is in perpetual limbo, and how his own artwork may hold the key to undoing his life’s biggest regret.

Everything he thinks he knows about himself is called into question. With the help of a country preacher and an eccentric library assistant, the search for answers begins . . . on both sides of the coin.

This excerpt tells how it all starts for Matt.
