| Synopsis: |
Now available in paperback for the first time, "Act of Contrition" focuses on the intimate relationship between Regina, a widow, and Michael, a young doctor whose wife left him for another man. Yet in the eyes of the church, Michael is not free to divorce his wife and marry Regina. In an emotional climax, Regina must decide if she loves Michael enough to give him up or if she'll force him to choose between her and his God. Janice Holt Giles' historical fiction made her a best selling novelist of the late 1940s and 1950s. In 1957, she penned this story involving one man's struggle to choose between the Catholic Church and the woman he loves. Giles' agent and publisher feared the work would cause "irreparable harm" to her reputation and discouraged her from pursuing publication. The novel was finally published in 2001. |
