Title: fictional exploration of miracles and family love that rings true
Review: Jodi Picoult fearlessly chooses the most difficult topics for her marvelously moving fiction. This time it's miracles, visions, mental illness, broken families, and charlatans of several stripes. Seven-year-old Faith talks with God and casually, even unwittingly, heals the sick. Her fragile mother, intensely loyal grandmother, and puzzled, wandering, but loving father all try to make sense of Faith's experiences and of the media frenzy that follows her, even as they tiptoe through the legal minefield of custody hearings. Picoult deals with the clergy, the TV hosts, and the egocentric lawyers with a deft hand as she gently unwinds the truth that is the foundation of this family's love. One of the best,in a field of excellent novels taking on tough subjects.
