Believe Me: A Novel - Tapa blanda

"The overpublished religion vs. atheism debate takes a refreshing turn here. In an understated way, Killham takes a modest run at the great questions: does God exist? if so, where is he when people get ill or get mugged?... a sweet, engaging read."--Publishers Weekly

"Killham's characters are wonderful, and Nicolas is one of the all-time great thirteen year olds of fiction."--Luanne Rice, author of Follow the Stars Home

"Killham has gone, as it says in the Book of Common Prayer, from strength to strength. Anyone would have been proud to have written this book." --Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean

Growing up with his atheist astrophyicist mother, Lucy, thirteen-year-old Nic Delano is beginning to ask a lot of questions about the meaning of life, and his mother does not like the answers he has been getting from his friends, a group of devout Christians, until unexpected tragedy strikes, and both of their beliefs are put to the test.
