Contemporary challenges facing close-knit families form the
crucible that forges a new generation.
Brandis, Gabriel, Blair and Lillian emerge from the
entanglement of their parents’ longstanding emotional
connections, but one’s star will burn brighter – and hotter
– than the others.
With a personality that consumes everyone and everything in
its path, Brandis Gordon struggles to maintain control as he
ricochets between wild success and miserable failure. His
life proves how even the strongest relationships can be
strangled by the ties that bind.
Brandis and Gabe Frietag are as close as any brothers, bound
by both loyalty and fierce rivalry. The strength of their
ultimate alliance is tested time and again by Brandis’ choices.
Companions from birth, Blair Frietag and Lillian Robinson
share loner tendencies, but come to rely on each other
through adolescence. As they mature, both are forced to
confront their feelings for the men they knew as boys.
Somewhere between the tangle of good memories and bad,
independence and addiction, optimism and despair, the
intertwined destinies of the new generation finally collide,
leaving some stronger, others broken, but none unscathed.
As a chronicle of three families navigating the minefields
of teen years into the turbulence of young adulthood, Good
Faith holds up a literary mirror to contemporary life with
joys and temptations unflinchingly reflected. Its fresh,
real-life voice portrays the sheer volatility of human
nature, complete with the hopes, dreams, and unexpected
setbacks of marriage, parenthood and “coming of age.”
