'Picoult offers a perfectly pitched take on the great mysteries of the heart. Her best yet.' - Kirkus Reviews Somewhere between belief and doubt lies faith. As Mariah White struggles with the aftermath of a sudden divorce, her seven-year-old daughter Faith seeks solace in a new friend-a friend who may or may not be imaginary. Faith talks to her 'Guard' constantly and begins to recite passages from the Bible-a book she's never read. After a succession of visits to psychiatrists, all of whom conclude Faith is not hallucinating, the unimaginable starts to seem possible: perhaps Faith may actually be seeing God. When Faith's cachet is enhanced by reported miracle healings and alleged stigmata, she is touted as a prophet. Amidst the gathering storm of controversy, Mariah and Faith are besieged by believers and disbelievers alike, caught in a media circus that threatens what little stability they have left. As Mariah finds herself fighting to keep her daughter, she has to push past her own insecurities and stand up for herself and her competence as a parent. Keeping Faith explores a family in crisis, caught in a world where everyone has an opinion but no one knows the truth. At her controversial and compelling best, Jodi Picoult explores the moment when boundaries break down, and when the only step left to take is a leap of faith. Jodi Picoult's bestselling and widely acclaimed novels include Perfect Match, Salem Falls, Plain Truth and The Pact. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three children.
