Who is Faith Miller from Seventh Son and what is their importance?

Faith Miller is pregnant with Alvin Jr. in the first few chapters of the book. Her family is traveling across country to get a fresh start, and knowing how close she is to having the baby, she shows her stubborn side when she refuses to leave the wagon during a precarious situation. This stubbornness results in the death of her oldest son, who dies while attempting to save her and the unborn child.

Faith faces life with a positive attitude and refuses to blame her new son for the death of her oldest child. She knows that everything happens for a reason. Faith is also a religious woman, who tries to teach her family good Christian values.
