Matters of Faith by Kristy KiernanMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm loving this book! I stayed up until 2am reading it last night.
This book traces a family of four (mom, dad, college age son and 12 year old daughter) during a very tragic time in their lives. It is not about faith in the traditional sense but really about life.
The author goes back and forth between a first person pov of the mom in the story and a third person perspective from the pov of the son. Quite interesting and completely believable, this book shows what trauma can do to an already struggling family and how, bit by bit, they navigate the ever expanding ripple of pain that has become their lives.
In spite of that premise, it is not completely unhopeful while at the same time, not sickeningly sweet.
Very realistic.
Do you think I would like this book? Sounds like it might be right up my alley.
