The Vietnam War is on the nightly news and women are burning bras in the

fast-changing world of the 1960s, but thirty-year old Laura wonders why her

choice as a feminist couldn't be to have a baby without marriage. Laura not

only has to justify her desire to her forward-thinking friends, but to her

fundamentally religious siblings, as well. Yet, her most important mission is

to find a man who will agree to impregnate her and then get out of the picture

once the act is accomplished.

Four narrators push along this charming tale set in 1960s Seabrook, Long

Island, as three adult siblings converge in their recently deceased father's home.

Laura is a 30-year-old newspaper columnist from New York. Her brother, Eric, is

a compassionate minister trying to find his faith, and sister Beth is an angry and

disapproving fundamentalist who is determined to hinder her siblings' desires in the name of her religion. They share the narration with Eric's wife, Jenny.

Tragic secrets are revealed without resorting to high drama in this portrayal of two separate halves of counterculture and suburban banality. Readers will find Of Little Faith to be uplifting and heartfelt in the most surprising of ways.
