From Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin', comes the first in a two-book origin story of Faith, a groundbreaking, plus-sized superhero from the Valiant Entertainment comics.

Faith Herbert is a pretty regular teen. When she's not hanging out with her two best friends, Matt and Ches, she's volunteering at the local animal shelter or obsessing over the long-running teen drama The Grove.

So far, her senior year has been spent trying to sort out her feelings for her maybe-crush Johnny and making plans to stay close to Grandma Lou after graduation. Of course, there's also that small matter of recently discovering she can fly....

When the fictional world of The Grove crashes into Faith's reality as the show relocates to her town, she can't believe it when TV heroine Dakota Ash takes a romantic interest in her.

But her fandom-fueled daydreams aren't enough to distract Faith from the fact that first animals, then people, have begun to vanish from the town. Only Faith seems able to connect the dots to a new designer drug infiltrating her high school.

But when her investigation puts the people she loves in danger, she will have to confront her hidden past and use her newfound gifts-risking everything to save her friends and beloved town.

Plus don't miss the follow-up, Faith: Greater Heights!

She has the power to fly, but can this fangirl-turned-superhero solve a deadly mystery before it's too late?

  • Superhero Origin Story: When Faith Herbert discovers she can fly, she has to learn to control her powers while confronting a hidden past she never knew existed.
  • Body Positivity Fiction: A groundbreaking, plus-sized hero who proves that anyone can save the day, written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin'.
  • Celebrity F/F Romance: Faith's ultimate fangirl dream comes true when Dakota Ash, the star of her favorite TV show, takes a very real, very romantic interest in her.
  • High School Mystery: She's the only one who can connect the dots between vanishing townspeople, a strange new designer drug, and the secrets lurking just beneath the surface of Glenwood.
