Sweet, sarcastic and completely exasperating, Faith DiNapoli is determined to mend her family's dysfunctional ways. Not easy with the DiNapolis, already run out of town once and constantly teetering on the edge of disrepute. Even harder as Faith has a tendency to misread everything - including the Bible and her mother's diary. And despite her dreams of respectability, Faith is struggling with her own temptations, such as dope, drink, boys, and short, short skirts. Will she end up like her hard-working, tough-talking, fabulous mother, abandoned with four kids before she's thirty, working as a waitress at the local diner? What chance does she have, attending a school her mother has nicknamed 'The Slut Daycare Centre'? Determined to fight her way to adulthood and win, funny, sharp-eyed, indefatigable Faith DiNapoli is an irresistible heroine, and her story is heart-breaking, hilarious and brimming with life.
