In this moving new novel from celebrated author
Nickolas Butler, a Wisconsin family grapples with the power
and limitations of faith when one of their own falls under
the influence of a radical church Lyle Hovde is at the onset of his golden years, living a
mostly content life in rural Wisconsin with his wife, Peg,
daughter, Shiloh, and six-year old grandson, Isaac. After a
troubled adolescence and subsequent estrangement from her
parents, Shiloh has finally come home. But while Lyle is
thrilled to have his whole family reunited, he’s also
uneasy: in Shiloh’s absence, she has become deeply involved
with an extremist church, and the devout pastor courting her
is convinced Isaac has the spiritual ability to heal the sick. While reckoning with his own faith—or lack thereof—Lyle soon
finds himself torn between his unease about the church and
his desire to keep his daughter and grandson in his life.
But when the church’s radical belief system threatens
Isaac’s safety, Lyle is forced to make a decision from which
the family may not recover. Set over the course of one year and beautifully evoking the
change of seasons, Little Faith is a powerful and
deeply affecting intergenerational novel about family and
community, the ways in which belief is both formed and
shaken, and the lengths we go to protect our own.
