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.
