The Believer

by Sarah Krasnostein

First published 2022

Sarah Krasnostein travels across America and Australia, meeting those who cling to the extraordinary - ghosts, UFOs, divine creation. As she delves into their stories, a tapestry emerges of how belief shapes and sustains us, even in the face of doubt. From a woman fighting for her child in prison to a former scientist embracing creationism, Krasnostein uncovers the power of the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world.
