SUMMARY:Nickolas Butler
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning author Nickolas Butler returns to Arcadia Books for a reading and discussion of his fourth novel Little Faith.\n"Breathtaking yet devastating.... Butler weaves questions surrounding faith\, regret\, and whether it's possible to love unconditionally into every page of this potent book.... This is storytelling at its finest." (Publishers Weekly-Starred Review)\n\n\n\n"A heartland novel that evokes the possibility of everyday miracles.... Like a favorite flannel shirt\, relaxed and comfortable\, well-crafted even as it deals with issues of life and death\, faith and doubt.... The novelist loves this land and these characters\, with their enduring values." (Kirkus Reviews)\n\n\n\nIn this moving new novel from celebrated author Nickolas Butler\, a Wisconsin family grapples with the power and limitations of faith when one of their own falls under the influence of a radical church  \n\n\n\nLyle Hovde is at the onset of his golden years\, living a mostly content life in rural Wisconsin with his wife\, Peg\, daughter\, Shiloh\, and six-year old grandson\, Isaac. After a troubled adolescence and subsequent estrangement from her parents\, Shiloh has finally come home. But while Lyle is thrilled to have his whole family reunited\, he's also uneasy: in Shiloh's absence\, she has become deeply involved with an extremist church\, and the devout pastor courting her is convinced Isaac has the spiritual ability to heal the sick.\n\nWhile reckoning with his own faith or lack thereof Lyle soon finds himself torn between his unease about the church and his desire to keep his daughter and grandson in his life. But when the church's radical belief system threatens Isaac's safety\, Lyle is forced to make a decision from which the family may not recover.  \n\nSet over the course of one year and beautifully evoking the change of seasons\, Little Faith is a powerful and deeply affecting intergenerational novel about family and community\, the ways in which belief is both formed and shaken\, and the lengths we go to protect our own.
