Shelby Richmond was an ordinary Long Island teenager until one tragic night rewrote her life. Her best friend’s future was destroyed in a single accident, while Shelby survived—left with guilt, grief, and a heart she no longer recognizes.
As she stumbles through the aftermath, Shelby pulls away from love, from her family, from any sense of hope. Chinese takeout, stray dogs, and the wrong men become her companions in place of a future she can’t yet imagine. But New York City brings unexpected connections: a circle of lost souls, a chance at healing, and the presence of an angel who’s been with her since that icy night.
In Faithful, Alice Hoffman spins beauty from sorrow in a moving story of survival, love, and the long road back to yourself.
