Inside the story
Room for other people. Room for joy.
Hannah once loved having people around her table. After three pregnancy losses, she has learned to keep the house quiet and her hopes to herself.
Then a neighbor arrives with an empty roasting pan and a broken oven. One imperfect Sunday dinner becomes another. Around Hannah's table gather people with their own unfinished lives: a widower learning to cook for one, a young mother trying to find room for her work, and an older friend who never brings just one dish.
Their company does not make everything easy. Hannah can offer a meal more readily than she can accept help, and a careless exchange threatens a friendship she has come to need. As she learns to make room for other people, she begins to discover moments of joy she had stopped expecting.
Set in Bellevue, Idaho, FAITH is a warm, quietly moving novella about pregnancy after loss, friendship, and the courage to let yourself be cared for. Inspired by the biblical Hannah, it follows an original modern woman's life with humor, tenderness, and room for uncertainty.

Scripture and story
Biblical foundation
1 Samuel 1 and 1 Samuel 2:1 through 11
15 Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit. I have not been drinking wine or strong drink, but I poured out my soul before Yahweh. 16 Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”
The Inspiration Note distinguishes Hannah’s biblical story from this original contemporary novel. Pregnancy loss is not treated as punishment or a measure of faith.
