My life changed in an instant when I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
I was only eighteen, and suddenly my once clear path was racing a hundred miles an hour out of control. I was in the driver’s seat, but completely unable to steer my life back on course.
I lost friends and didn’t bother to make new ones.
I refused to let anyone in…
When the doctor uttered the word “remission,” my path changed yet again.
That new path led somewhere I never expected—somewhere most people would look down on—but it’s where I finally found myself, and where nobody treated me like a piece of fragile glass. It’s also where I learned other people had scars to hide.
This is the story of how I met…him.
This is the story of how I became Faith.

Review:
Faith...
This book was interesting for me because I thought it had so much potential. I was really excited to start this book and within a few chapters I was caught up in the characters and the story. Yet about halfway through the novel, or maybe even before that, the book started to fall apart for me.
One of the things that I absolutely abhor in a novel is when the author starts an idea and doesn't finish it, which was the resounding theme of Faith. There were characters introduced and I was ready for the drama to roll, then nothing happened. Now, I don't usually advocate drama, but this book had almost none! Nothing to keep my attention and nothing to make me interested in reading more. But the reason this book was pretty decent for me was the potential of the novel to be great.
An example of where the idea kind of trailed off: A character was introduced and she sounded like she was going to make trouble for "Faith". I was waiting for the drama and the battle between the two, yet there was nothing. The newly introduced character was never mentioned again and I was left confused. It was just small things like this that really took this book down a notch for me. Maybe there will be a proceeding book to follow Faith which goes more in depth with these various issues, If so, that's great, but this book felt cut short and I don't know if I'm willing to follow up on it.
The characters themselves were great and I loved their interactions and decisions. My only problem was that there were no problems between any of the characters.
Faith was a good read, but it definitely felt cut short, and for this reason, I can only give it three stars. There is definitely a problem when I am reading a book and when it ends I am super surprised. Yet there was potential there so maybe the author will continue this book to another and finish the thoughts from Faith.

About the Author
So you want to know a little about me and get a sense of who I am. Well the first thing I can say is that I absolutely hate talking about myself. So bare with me as I let you in on who I am.
My name is Elizabeth Hayes and I am from the Midwest. I have a few things I just happen to obsess over those include Hot pink and Zebra print, Unicorns, and cupcakes, and Books, I love to read and get lost in a book. I have thought about writing for a long time now and finally started to put words down. Ashlee and I are both new at this and our first book Finding Salvation is going to be thrown out there for you all to read. I must say I am having a hard time with this. I am the type of person that likes to know the outcome before I do anything. I want to know that this is going loved by most of you. The thing is I know that this book is going to be hopefully liked by some, hopefully loved by some, hated by some and just ok to some and I think I am finally ok with that. I am stepping out of my comfort zone. I hear that is a good thing. But with everything time will tell. So there you go! If you want to know more just ask.
