Journal Entry 1 by cats-eye from Bishop Auckland, County Durham United Kingdom on Thursday, February 02, 2006
 Synopsis (from Amazon.co.uk):
Hot on the heels of her Richard & Judy smash-hit "My Sister's Keeper", Jodi Picoult's latest drama tells the compelling story of an ordinary little girl with an extraordinary gift, who finds herself at the centre of a huge media controversy. 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 begins to confide in an imaginary friend. At first, Mariah dismisses these exchanges as a child's imagination. But when Faith starts reciting passages from the Bible, 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?

Journal Entry 3 by cats-eye from Bishop Auckland, County Durham United Kingdom on Friday, April 07, 2006
Once again, Jodi Picoult manages to keep you hooked throughout this fantastic story with a controversial subject. I always enjoy her writings, and this one was one of the better ones I've read so far. I will be posting this out to Helly as part of a trade in the next few days...
