OLDER FICTION
Wittlinger, Ellen

Blind Faith

(2) YA When Liz's grandmother dies, her mother loses herself in grief and finds comfort in new-age religion; meanwhile, siblings Nathan and Courtney, whose mother has leukemia, move in across the street. Liz observes the paths of mourning and maternal care traversed by those around her in a plot that is (for Wittlinger) unusually issue-driven, but rich in character, nuance, and emotion.
