Book Club Questions for Keeping Faith

• Much is said in the story about Mariah not being a good mother. Do you think this is valid? Does Faith think she is a good mother? Is motherhood truly a “work in progress”, as Millie describes it?

• Millie says, “I always wondered why God was supposed to be a father. Fathers always want you to measure up to something. Mothers are the ones who love you unconditionally.” Do you feel this is true?

• What is the difference between religion and spirituality? Does Faith have more of one than the other?
