In the spring of 2002, a perfect storm hits Boston: Trusted
priests are accused of the worst possible betrayal. "Faith"
explores the fallout for one devout family.
Estranged from her family, Sheila McGann returns home when her
older brother, Art--a popular pastor--finds himself at the center
of the maelstrom. Her strict mother is in a state of angry denial.
Sheila's younger brother, Mike, has convicted his brother in his
heart. But most disturbing of all is Art himself, who dodges
Sheila's questions and refuses to defend himself.
As secrets begin to surface, "Faith" explores the corrosive
consequences of one family's history of silence--and the resilience
it finds through forgiveness. A suspenseful tale of one woman's
quest for the truth, "Faith" is a haunting meditation on loyalty
and family, doubt and belief. Elegantly crafted, sharply observed,
this is Jennifer Haigh's most ambitious novel to date.
