description: Reviewers praise Jodi Picoult's novels as "inspired", "commanding", and "masterful". Her style is direct and eloquent, her subjects both riveting and timely, her characters as vivid as our own families and friends. In Keeping Faith, the White family has just been broken apart by divorce. Their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, starts to have talks with God, perform miracles, and develop stigmata. As word spreads and controversy flares, Faith and her mother are soon besieged by believers and nonbelievers alike. As it builds inexorably to a climactic battle for custody, Keeping Faith explores a family plagued by the media, the medical profession, and organized religion in a world where everyone has an opinion but no one knows the truth. Fascinating, thoughtful, and suspenseful, this extraordinary novel is Jodi Picoult at her best: controversial and compelling.
