This is really "standard Falkner"....which says a lot.  A Book that tears at your heart, fills your eyes with tears, and finally, raises an exaltation to love, the human condition, and the connections between people.Falkner believes in love at first sight.  In "Finally Finding Faith," Daniel has returned from Afghanistan minus his team, minus a leg, and minus any will to live.  He develops his bucket list, as some people in that situation do (others realize they have nothing left to live for...that is, their bucket list is finished).  One item is to get a tattoo, which brings him to the Reed's.  The next item is to get his watch repaired, which brings him to Faith.Which brings us to one of the most remarkable set of sentences I have read:"I don't mean Faith that there's some entity that's in charge of your life.  I mean faith that you are intrinsically connected to other people.  That you are never alone, even on your most lonely day."THIS is what we somehow need to make sure people understand.  Not just the people who lose their faith, but also those around them, because Faith continues, speaking of the connectivity of life and the living, how we are all connected to each other.  And that even when the people are gone, the connections go on.  We just build new ones, out of the old ones.
