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 faithâ??or lack thereofâ??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… (altro)

Lyle and Peg have a very close relationship with their grandson, Isaac. Isaac's mother, Shiloh has a tenuous relationship with her father, especially since she took up the minister of a fundamentalist church. Shiloh soon moves in with the minister, Steven. Isaac has diabetes and Shiloh and Steven think they can cure him not by using medication, but by praying over him. ( )

Lovely writing, set in small-town America. Featuring grandparents Lyle and Peg who seem a lot more elderly than their years, and their beloved young grandson Isaac. Increasing stress with Isaac's mother as their principles clash; I could feel for their dilemma.

There are several subplots, and one or two scenes that don't really add much to the story at all other than in painting a broader picture of Lyle's day-to-day existence. They contrast with the drama of his interactions with his daughter.

I found it difficult to put down once I'd started, but was disappointed that the ending was so inconclusive, leaving several threads wide open.

Lyle and Peg live in a small Wisconsin town. Their adult daughter, Shiloh, and her son Isaac live with them. Shiloh becomes involved with a new charismatic church in nearby La Crosse and becomes engaged to its minister. This minister and Shiloh believe that Isaac has the gift of healing. This new relationship causes Lyle's relationship with Shiloh to become strained as he doubts the minister's intentions. The novel ends with Isaac in a diabetic coma because his parents chose to pray over him rather than seek medical attention. ( )

The earth was plowing the man under, and the horses under, and the plows. No generation sees it happen, and the broken new fields grow up forgetting... All the living were breasting into the crest of the present together. All men and women and children ran spread in a long line, holding aloft a ribbon or banner, they ran up a field as wide as earth, opening time like a path in the grass and he was borne along with them. No he said peeling the light back, walking in the sky towards home, no.

Annie Dillard, The Living
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: ans your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams.

Acts 2:17

The little boy giggled as he ran hid soft hands down the old man's furrowed forehead over his graying eyebrows, eyelids and eyelashes and then settled the blindfold just above his nose and ears before running off into the sunlit cemetery to hide.
