Description
A terrible secret. A terrible fate.
When Brie's sister, Faith, dies suddenly, Brie's world falls apart. As she goes through the bizarre and devastating process of mourning the sister she never understood and barely even liked, everything in her life seems to spiral farther and farther off course. Her parents are a mess, her friends don't know how to treat her, and her perfect boyfriend suddenly seems anything but.
As Brie settles into her new normal, she encounters more questions than closure: Certain facts about the way Faith died just don't line up. Brie soon uncovers a dark and twisted secret about Faith's final night...a secret that puts her own life in danger.

How did you come to write this book?
I had been itching to write a "sister story" and the idea came to me about a girl really finding her older sister only after she had died. When I started to come up with and share secrets about the deceased sister with my critique partners, I knew I was onto something by their reactions.
I came up with an outline ahead of time and I wrote the actual first draft of LOSING FAITH in 21 days during NaNoWriMo 2007.
"The conclusion wraps up the loose ends neatly and is satisfying....Overall, [Losing Faith] is a thoughtful book."
-- VOYA
"This thoughtful first novel explores early grief and shows how it can tear at the structure of a family that cannot mourn together…. [R]eaders are taken on a ride through a secret world of religious zeal gone haywire….With pitch-perfect portrayals of high school social life and a nuanced view into a variety of Christian experiences of faith, this first novel gives readers much to think about."
