"Losing Faith is a tour-de-force of
emotion and surprisingly snarky
humor. At times it’s a story
engulfed in grief, but it’s always
full of mystery and heart. Jaden
has weaved a remarkably realistic
story that is a stellar debut."
- Wicked Awesome Books

“This thoughtful first novel
explores early grief and shows
how it can tear at the structure
of a family that cannot mourn
together…. [R]eaders are taken
on a ride through a secret world
of religious zeal gone haywire….
With pitch-perfect portrayals of
high school social life and a
nuanced view into a variety of
Christian experiences of faith,
this first novel gives readers
much to think about.”
- School Library Journal
...strong in its characterization...satisfying...a thoughtful read."
- VOYA

“A riveting and emotional story…and with the fast-paced and suspenseful conclusion, Jaden proves herself to be a smart,
capable, and strong new author to watch.”
- The Compulsive Reader
