Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult


"One of America's most powerful and thought-provoking novelists, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult brilliantly examines belief, miracles, and the complex core of family."

"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 healing begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile centre 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"


 

My Rating: 8/10

My comment: Wow! Let's just say that Jodi Picoult is one of my favourite authors. I have read most of her books and not one of them has ever let me down. All of her books can be about a debatable topic and Keeping Faith is no different. I am not a true religious person but that didn't stop me from reading this book. In this novel there are a lot of controversial issues and even if you not a religious person, this book can still be enjoyed by anybody.
