Blind Faith Paperback - 2007
by Ellen Wittlinger
After Lizs grandma Bunny dies, Lizs mother falls into a deep depression. The only thing that cheers her is going to a special spiritualist church where she thinks she can communicate with Bunny from the grave. In this poignant novel, Wittlinger explores questions of belief and spirituality.
Summary
"I might as well tell you before you hear it someplace else...
My mother is dying. She has leukemia and she came here to die."
Nathan and his adorable little sister just moved in across the street from Liz Scattergood, and both of them could use a friend. Liz just isn't sure she's the right person. What do you say to someone whose mother is dying?
Liz has been coping with tough questions like this all summer. Ever since Liz's grandmother Bunny died, Liz's mother hasn't been the same; she's even started attending a spiritualist church that claims it can contact Bunny on the Other Side. Liz isn't sure she believes it, but she does know the service gives her mother comfort -- something no one else can seem to do at all.
As Liz and Nathan become closer, and the summer draws nearer to its bitter end, questions of faith, mortality, and spirituality come to the forefront of their intimate friendship. There are no easy answers, but together they may nonetheless find hope, comfort, and love.
