After decades in bookstores, I am perhaps not surprisingly immune to picking up a new book by a prolific author. I tend to assume, as with rock songwriters,that an author's best work is always behind them. If that is true, then I have seriously missed out by not having looked at a work by Hoffman before. I pretty much inhaled this book. Faithful, although destined for the adult fiction section, reads like a smart YA novel and would be a perfect pick for a mother/daughter book club. Real teens, real young adults and their parents, and one life-shattering mistake. The young Laura Bush, was famously at fault in a car accident that killed another teenager. I always wondered: how does someone recover from that? This book imagines it for me.
— From Carla's Picks
“Faithful is compulsively readable and includes all of the traits we have come to love and expect from an Alice Hoffman novel. It is a coming-of-age tale of the emotional journey of a girl overcome with heartbreak after a tragic accident, who is now attempting to redefine herself. It is a hopeful lesson in faith, love, friendship, forgiveness, and opening up to new possibilities. A friendly warning: Expect a craving for Chinese food and a desire to adopt a rescue dog after reading.”
