Keeping Faith
by Jodi Picoult
Stunning, Intriguing, Spiritual, and Heartwarming
This book holds everything about the nature of motherhood, what it means to embrace faith and religion, the power of perspective, and the unconditional love that permeates families. I love how Jodi Picoult takes the time to research and dive into her characters. She does not leave a stone unturned in the book, Keeping Faith, as she describes certain religious leaders, stigmata, and the court system.
I loved the transitions each character goes through within the book. A mother learns how to hold herself together while loving her daughter; a self-proclaimed atheist learns what it means to believe in something; and the legal system turns into a means of familial disparity. Picoult does a wonderful job of describing each character and their inner workings. She is careful not to overstep into a place of bias, rather she presents every angle of the story equally. She creates a plot and setting that is not too chaotic but keeps readers invested.
This is a great read for something a little lengthy, a little heartwarming, a little aggravating, and a lot entertaining. Definitely makes the reader reflect and connect with the characters.
