Faithful

Faithful by Alice Hoffman Growing up on Long Island Shelby
Richmond is an ordinary girl until one night an
extraordinary tragedy changes her fate. Her best friend’s
future is destroyed in an accident while Shelby walks away
with the burden of guilt. What happens when a life is
turned inside out? When love is something so distant it
may as well be a star in the sky? Faithful is the story of
a survivor filled with emotion—from dark suffering to true
happiness—a moving portrait of a young woman finding her
way in the modern world. A fan of Chinese food dogs
bookstores and men she should stay away from Shelby has to
fight her way back to her own future. In New York City she
finds a circle of lost and found souls—including an angel
who’s been watching over her ever since that fateful icy
night. Here is a character you will fall in love with so
believable and real and endearing that she captures both
the ache of loneliness and the joy of finding yourself at
last. For anyone who’s ever been a hurt teenager for every
mother of a daughter who has lost her way Faithful is a
roadmap.
