From the day that Sheba Hart joins the staff at St George's, history teacher Barbara Covett is convinced that she has found a kindred spirit. When Sheba is discovered having an illicit affair with one of her pupils, Barbara appoints herself Sheba's chief defender. Yet all is not as it first appears in this dark story and as Sheba will eventually discover, a friend can be as treacherous as any lover.

«Верующие» — это третий роман Зои Хеллер, написанный в жанре семейной саги (англ. Family saga) и опубликованный в 2008 году. В романе показана традиционная жизнь нью-йоркской семьи, члены которой имеют между собой мало общего. Кульминация романа происходит тогда, когда отец семейства впадает в кому из-за инсульта, после чего каждый член семьи начинает вести нетрадиционный курс жизни и в то же время пытается поддержать остальных. Все события и действующие лица в романе вымышлены. Роман состоит из IV частей и 24 глав.

Schoolteacher Barbara Covett has led a solitary life until Sheba Hart, the new art teacher at St. George's, befriends her. But even as their relationship develops, so too does another: Sheba has begun an illicit affair with an underage male student. When the scandal turns into a media circus, Barbara decides to write an account in her friend's defense—and ends up revealing not only Sheba's secrets, but also her own.
