Faith by Jennifer Haigh is narrated in first person by the sister of a Catholic priest who is suspected of molesting a little boy. The family that the priest comes from is dysfunction to begin with, but when this crisis hits, some family members stand by him and support him, while others are alienated from him.

I thought this was a very well-written book and the story told with sensitivity. This was a book that I couldn't label as a page-turner, because it took more thought to read and absorb what was going on rather than flying through it to see what happened. I gave it 5 stars. Excellent book.
