<p>Set in Philadelphia during World War II and based on a true family story, "The Faithful Ones: A Novel," tells the story of how a man's principled choice in the bootcamp firing range lands him in a horrfiying mental asylum with no ticket out.</p>
Part-horror, part family-drama, The Faithful Ones is the gripping true story of how a man's pacifist conscience lands him in a barbaric mental asylum and sets his devoted young sister on a decades-long mission to unravel the cryptic circumstances and salvage his honor.
A pacifist-leaning Catholic, Edward F. Hohlfeld complies with Uncle Sam's orders and reports to boot camp with a troubled heart. Weeks later, he is interned at Byberry, where he finds himself in the midst of a homegrown battle between good and evil. Alongside Quaker hospital attendant Walter Sinclair and his conscientious objector cohorts, Edward conspires to sneak out damning evidence of abuse and corruption to the press. To do his part, Edward must rely on his faithful visitor Mary to convey his sketches of hospital atrocities to their parish priest, while keeping her innocent and in the dark.
Edward's baffling downfall alienates him from family and sets his sister Mary on a mission to figure out how his promising life went so awry. While Edward struggles for justice with his mind intact a world away, Mary grows up following clues like breadcrumbs on the trail to a dark truth about her brother's fate and its connection to the wages of family secrecy and the nation's shame.
He makes a choice. She makes a vow. They make a pact.
