Back Cover

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.
