This is my favorite Picoult book so far. Mostly because My Sister's Keeper was so horribly sad, and 19 minutes was such a tough topic. This book explored a very interesting and extraordinary subject matter and dealt with many psychological issues. Even though these are complicated issues to think about, I found this book to be a delight and made me think without judging what I first would not believe.

Little Faith , raised with no knowledge of any religion, starts seeing and talking to God after Mommy and Daddy separate. Big deal! Many people talk to God and hear His voice.

    A family drama by Jodi Picoult that involves adultery, divorce, and a child custody battle of the little girl, called Faith. A well written novel about faith, beliefs, miracles, the unnerving fate and twists in life of Faith and her mother.

    I'm in the middle of this book right now after having just started it yesterday. I couldn't find a good place to stop. I too am a Christian so I struggled with the agnostic point of view. However, as usual, Jodi does a great job of including a variety of characters and a unique plot that holds your attention! This book came highly recommended to me by others who had read it and I'm not disappointed.
