Faith is a quirky, small-statured character in Nash Must Learn. Her unremarkable appearance, aloof demeanor, unkempt mouse-brown hair, and limited acuity with ordinary life skills are all manifestations of a lifelong struggle against high-functioning Autism. Faith may appear stupid and incapable at first. In reality, she is very bright and observant and is an unusually proficient and skilled artist. She prefers using pencils, often leaving her hands, arms, and sleeves smudged with graphite.
Readers will have the opportunity to meet and interact with Faith and direct Nash to accompany her as she works to fill an album with evidence she believes will lead her to an actual, living, angel. Nash must learn to view the world through Faith’s eyes if he is to help her understand the difference between what is real and what is fantasy. His decisions and interactions with Faith may lead him to potentially discover numerous important pieces of information he needs to unravel the story’s overarching mystery. He may also find that falling in love with her invites as much discord as it does harmony.
