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. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Thought provokingThis was a very good book. Very thought provoking and the character development was excellent. Rating: - Eh...While I enjoy (greatly) Picoult's ability to make the reader see "the other side" of situations, I can't say that I'm a huge fan of her writing. I feel that she takes the easy way out when it comes to developing her central characters here. For example, I had a really difficult time getting through the beginning of the book -- Mariah had me wanting to put the book down and never pick it back up. The only word that kept going through my mind was "pathetic". It's as if the author wanted to draw ... Read More Rating: - Too LongToo Long I don't like to judge an author by one book, so when I was disappointed with My Sister's Keeper, I decided to still try another one of Jodi Piccoult's novels and see what happens. Judging from her positive reviews and her success as a writer, I need to accept that maybe I'm just not a fan of Jodi's Piccoult's writing. Reading the summary of the novel certainly got my attention because the idea of a child healer was fantastic, but the novel was just too long. At ... Read More Rating: - Picoult is excellentPicoult 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 ... Read More Rating: - Eh. Classic Jodi.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. Browse for similar items by category:
