Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

5.0

I loved this book. It's pretty rare that a book affects me to the point of reducing me to tears, but this is the second Jodi Piccoult book to do this to me (the first being My Sister's Keeper). For me it was never an issue about whether what was happening to Faith was real, it was how her mother, Mariah, dealt with what was happening. I am a mother of 2 kids who suffered post-natal depression, and still have feelings of inadequacy from time to time over my parenting skills, so I related to the struggles Mariah was going through. Mental illness is such a misunderstood issue in today's society, and I think that Jodi has written about this subject with care & compassion.
