ytd i just borrowed another Jodi Picoult`s book from the library called "Keeping Faith". i think that this is really a good book. kinda like teaching me smthg.

Keeping Faith
Somewhere between belief and doubt lies faith. For the second time in her marriage, Mariah White catches her husband with another woman and Faith, their seven year old daughter, witnesses every painful minute. In the aftermath of a sudden divorce, Mariah struggles with depression and Faith seeks solace in a new friend ... a friend who may or may not be imaginary.

Faith talks to her "Guard"constantly; begins to recite passages from the Bible -- a book she's never read. Fearful for her daughter's sanity, Mariah sends her to several psychiatrists. Yet when Faith develops stigmata and begins to perform miraculous healings, Mariah wonders if her daughter-- a girl with no religious background-- might indeed be seeing God. As word spreads and controversy heightens, Mariah and Faith are besieged by believers and disbelievers alike, caught in a media circus that threatens what little stability they have left.

What are you willing to believe? Is Faith a prophet or a troubled little girl? Is Mariah a good mother facing an impossible crisis -- or a charlatan using her daughter to reclaim the attention her unfaithful husband withheld? As the story builds to a climactic battle for custody, Mariah must discover that spirit is not necessarily something that comes from religion, but from inside oneself.

Fascinating, thoughtful, and suspenseful, Keeping Faith explores a family plagued by the media, the medical profession, and organized religion in a world where everyone has an opinion but no one knows the truth.

At her controversial and compelling best, Jodi Picoult masterfully explores the moment when boundaries break down, when illusions become reality, and when the only step left to take is a leap of faith.


yup so that`s wat the book is abt. and after reading it. it makes me think abt wat i learnt in sunday sch la.

that God is really there. and you just got to believe even when it seems impossible. because smtimes smthgs are beyond wat our mind can logically accept. like wat the book says. you`ve gotta take that leap of faith and believe.

reading this book is a good reminder for me. that i shld hold on to my faith and believe. cos smtimes i still do have qns abt my own religion. but then i came to learnt. that one just gotta believe (:

i guess maybe this is God`s way of answering all my doubts (:

okae. so much for my thoughts.hee (:
