Product Description
When 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.

Keeping Faith 04 November, 2008 Jodi Picoult is one of the finest authors of our time. This book like all of her books keeps you interested from first to last page. Her research must be time consuming but certainly adds to the essence of her books. A wonderful read!

Eh. Classic Jodi. 19 November, 2008 This book had SO much potential. It wasn't bad but it really wasn't about you thought it was going to be about. You thought it was going to be about if Faith could see God or not and go into detail about it. It wasn't about that much at all, it was about a custody case and the cathloc church. And even in the end, I had to read it 3 times to make sense of what she was trying to say. And it still wasn't clear. It was good, it had it's moments, but I'm still waiting for something.

Great Story, Weak Ending. 26 October, 2008 I love this author's work and read her often. But often I notice her endings are weak and vague. This story drew me in form the first few pages. I couldn't wait to get the chance to read again. I got to the end and went "what?". I wont revel any spoilers but just don't expect any big shock or twist at the end. Just enjoy the story.

Jodi Picoult Never Grows Stale 08 November, 2008 Jodi Picoult must love a challenge. This is an unusual book that deals with the issue of divine religious visitations, stigmata and miracles through the experience of a young girl after her parents divorce. Picoult understands the complicated relationship between parents and their children as deftly illustrated through Mariah White after her marriage disintegrates, and she is caught up in a media circus with her daughter. Picoult tackles a hot button topic with journalistic integrity; but still manages to weave a credible and believable fictional narrative. I look forward to reading her next thought provoking offering.

Picoult Is Excellent 24 November, 2008 Picoult is an excellent writer and develops her characters better than anyone I've ever read. The story moves quickly, and is fiercely entertaining. This book makes you think, and wonder, and question. Picoult has a gift for picking these types of topics. Her books are long, but she researches her subjects well to give you a full taste of the topic, but she lets you make your own mind up. The book is redeming and you fall in love with Faith, and all the main characters. The ending builds quickly and then at the end you are left with questions. I am not fan of that, I like to know what the author is trying to tell me, especially when I am that commited to a book (long). I still think her book My Sisters Keeper is better, but it's a masterpiece.
Read that one first if you have not. Keeping Faith is definitely worth while if not just for the beautiful writing of Picoult, but also for the journey she takes you on.
