Keeping Faith: a totally gripping, emotional read

When Mariah White catches her husband with another woman, her marriage finally falls apart. Mariah's 7-year-old daughter Faith is there to witness it all, and when she begins talking to an imaginary friend – her 'guard' – Mariah's own brush with insanity starts to take on a darker meaning. With Faith performing what can only be described as miracles, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile centre of a media circus, and Mariah is forced to consider: is Faith truly seeing God, or is she just a troubled child seeking refuge from her home life? And which is harder to accept?
