11.1.2016 - Faithful

Faithful by Alice Hoffman

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book.

This is a wonderfully-written book, almost a coming-of-age book. Shelby is a teenager who was driving when an accident happened that hurt her best friend. Shelby couldn't cope with the depression and survivor's guilt so after a stint in a psychiatric facility, she became a recluse in her parents' basement.

But the story goes on as Shelby has to learn to walk through her guilt, with the help of good friends and a mysterious stranger who sends her postcards with encouraging messages.

This is a story of hope and of resilience in so many of the characters. I truly enjoyed this journey.
