Book Reviews of Keeping FaithBook Review: Riveting Summary: 5 Stars
For a few years now, everywhere I go i see Jodi Picoult's books on the shelves, but never picked one up. Now that I did, I'm going to read them all!
i absolutely couldn't put this book down. Faith is a seven year old girl who parents are going through a messy divorce and suddenly she starts talking to God or her "Guard". I don't want to say too much more about the plot since I don't want to give anything away, but read this book!
I think that what I love the most about it is that your own perceptions of religion can influence what you think the truth in the book about Faith's experiences is (is she faking it or actually talking to God?) so two people could read this book and come away with very different conclusions. I was not raised in a religious background so found it very easy to relate to the characters, who are finding this all strange and unfamiliar and questioning their feelings on it throughout the novel. I still don't know what I think actually happened in the book!
Summary of Keeping FaithWhen the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression?and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata. And when the miraculous healings begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile center of controversy and into the heat of a custody battle?trapped in a mad media circus that threatens what little stability the family has left. In Keeping Faith, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult?one of the most powerful writers in contemporary fiction?brilliantly examines belief, miracles, and the complex core of family.
