Faith Greenleaf

Faith Greenleaf was the middle daughter of James and Mae Greenleaf.

(Grace was the oldest daughter and Charity was the youngest, because Jacob tells Grace, "Remember you left Faith too..." when Grace left to go to college)

Early Life and Later Suicide
Before she left the Greenleaf manor, Faith, Grace, and two other members of Calvary were members of a gospel singing group that would perform for other churches and Christian organizations. This was revealed in Season Two.

She was molested and raped by Uncle Mac. As a result, she left home, became addicted to drugs, and presumably sold her body to finance her drug habit.

Prior to the events of Season 1, she committed suicide by drowning in the lake by the Greenleaf manor. The family, not wanting the publicity that comes with having a child who committed suicide, took the death as "God's way of taking her early". However, Grace soon believes that the suicide was the cover-up for a murder, but there is no evidence to support this.

Season One
Uncle Mac was sexually attracted to Faith. In "The Broken Road", Mac is trying to confess his innocence to Mae about the sexual abuse charges when he actually indirectly confesses to Mae that he did rape those girls, including his niece. These were the lines said:

Mae: "Say you didn't do it."

Mac: "That's what I've been saying the whole time. I            did not do it."

Mae: "Any of it?"

Mac: "Any of it!"

Mae: "And that you never touched Faith."

Mac: "No, no. I loved her. I think about her every day. It's a crime that Faith is not here and Gigi's still here to trouble you like this. But you... know how it is. God takes the best for himself and leaves the rest of us to shift. Faith was the best.
