Keeping Faith

Keeping Faith is a story of love found, lost, and found again, of betrayal, forgiveness, redemption and healing. Most of all it holds the bitter truth of how the selfish actions of individuals far transcend the moment. As a ten year old, Patrick O'Brien is abused by his priest. Ashamed and afraid no one will believe him, for years he carries the unspeakable act alone, allowing it to eat at the recesses of his heart, destroying relationships one by one. Finally he is confronted by the one person who is determined to get to the truth no matter what the cost. She has waited almost two decades to unravel his lies, to break down his barriers, and to find out why he was more interested in saving souls than claiming her. When she appears at his door he can no longer run; there's no escaping the past, even if it destroys him.

5Really Great!  Mar 06, 2010
This book surprised me. I knew the subject matter was touchy (young boy abused by priest) and was a little worried about how it would be handled.

Expertly. Ms. Bradford has managed to write a heavy subjected book in a way that we feel sadness, happiness and shock all at the right spots. I like that she was able to pull back just when you thought your emotions were going to burst.

For a first novel Cindi Bradford has scored one out of the park. Patrick (main character) becomes your friend. You want to be right there next to him as he goes through the highs and lows of his life. You want to laugh with him at times, and at other, you want to wrap your arms around him and never let go.

Once you pick up this book, you will want to cancel all your plans just to be able to finish it.

CINDY BRADFORD CAN WRITE WITH THE BEST OF THEM.
"KEEPING FAITH" WAS A WONDERFUL READ.
CAN'T WAIT FOR HER NEXT NOVEL.
SHE CAN TAKE YOU PLACES, SEE THINGS AND RELATE
TO HER CHARACTERS.
ENJOYED "KEEPING FAITH" SO MUCH, I BOUGHT IT FOR
MY SISTER-IN-LAW.
MY BOOK WILL NOT BE A LOANER AND I WILL READ IT THE SECOND TIME.

5Truly Heartwarming  Jan 31, 2010
Being a person who reads mainly intrigue/mystery books, I didn't know if I'd be able to get "into" the story but I was wrong. I enjoyed every page - the travels of Patrick to places I'll never go but feel like I've been there through his eyes -- his friends, his ministry, his heartache, his love for his family...a truly heartwarming book that leaves me eagerly waiting for the sequel.

5Keeping Faith is a winner.  Jan 25, 2010
I admit I bought Keeping Faith because Cindy Bradford is a friend. I will buy Promises Kept because I became so involved with the characters that they became like family and I want to know more about what happens to them. The book is an easy read and very well written. I hope this is the beginning of many more books by the author. The book would make an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys reading.

5Waiting for Sequel  Jan 18, 2010
Excellent. Very realistic characters. The description of catholics for that time period was very accurate. Patrick's torment making his decision was especially well done - a universal for all of us who deviate from values we were brought up with. The plot kept my attention beginning to end. Waiting for the sequel.
