Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult

2.0

I don't know, maybe a 2.5. While there were many interesting facets to this book, it just seemed so farfetched, I think I had trouble relating. The main character, Mariah, has a husband who cheats on her and leaves her and their 7 year old daughter. Soon thereafter, the daughter, Faith, starts speaking to God. The author decided to write the book in a way that the reader can decide for themselves whether we really think Faith actually had a VIP relationship with God. There's TV people, a bitter custody battle with evil lawyers, an escape to get away from it all, people coming back to life and other miracles. Quite a lot for one little book. But it is worth the read for the complex character of Mariah as well as the struggles with religion and between religions.
