What if someone could be part of your life before you ever knew their name?
Since childhood, Tom Cantwell has dreamed of the same girl.
He finds her beneath an old tree, beside still water, in places that feel too real to be dreams. They grow up together in scattered visits across the years-finding each other, losing each other, and carrying pieces of a connection neither of them can explain.
But waking always takes her away.
Tom builds a life in the real world: marriage, children, work, family, all the ordinary things that make a life matter. Yet the girl remains somewhere beyond his reach, aging as he ages, remembering what he forgets, waiting for him to find his way back.
Then, one night, the impossible changes.
For the first time, she reaches him while he is awake.
What follows forces Tom to confront a question he has carried for most of his life: Who is she-and why have they been searching for each other for so long?
The Girl He Kept Losing is a relationship-driven novel about love in its many forms, memory, family, grief, connection, and the people who leave a mark on us even when we cannot explain why.
