Really makes you think...
Jodi Picoult has truly mastered the art of writing addictive, thought-provoking, interesting fiction. "Keeping Faith" proves that she's getting even better at it. The book centers around a young girl who, after going through a traumatic experience and her parents' separation, starts having visions....or does she?
Religious fanatics come from all over the world to camp on her doorstep in the hopes of being "cured" and her mother must deal with protecting her daughter, whether or not to doubt or believe her, and dealing with various characters, many of whom do not have their best interests in mind.
Regardless of your religious beliefs, this book is fascinating and extremely thought-provoking. One could perhaps teach an entire human studies or religion course around this book. It touches upon some very interesting and important themes, and ultimately will leave an impact on the reader. I HIGHLY recommend this book and think it would also be ideal for a book club. Its one of those books you'll really want to discuss and hear others' thoughts/opinions! I also highly recommend "Nineteen Minutes," "The Pact," "My Sisters Keeper" and "Plain Truth," all by Jodi Picoult
