In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a successful novelist living in Volvo-driving, higher-education worshipping Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the U.S. Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a familys experience of the U.S. Marine Corps. From being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. From Franks realization that among his fellow soccer dads the very words boot camp were pejorative, conjuring up troubled youths at risk to Johns learning that the Marine next to you is more important than you are, Keeping Faith is a fascinating and personal reconsideration of issues of class, duty, and patriotism. But as John and his fellow recruits battle to make the cutand Johns family struggles to deal with the worry and separation, it is also an extremely timely, moving, and wonderfully written human interest storya moving chronicle of love, duty and patriotism in contemporary America. Beautifully written ... great insight and unselfconscious humor.Publishers Weekly.
