Faith Hope and Clarity

Few people realise that Faith Faber, seemingly an accomplished doctor is really a shy and insecure person.

But nothing they try seems to help…. well, not Pollyanna anyway.Will the course of love run smoothly? Will Faith accept who she really is? While her relationship explodes and she is faced with one of the biggest and most difficult diagnoses of her life, Faith discovers who her real friends are makes a huge decision of her own.
