Janice Holt Giles, nationally acclaimed author of twenty-four books, considered Act of Contrition to be one of her best novels. Yet Giles's publisher twice rejected the manuscript, fearing its iconoclastic and controversial content to be too direct a challenge to the rules of church and society. Giles's daughter saved the manuscript for nearly fifty years until finally this "lost novel" was published. The story focuses on the intimate and difficult relationship between Regina Browning, a librarian newly relocated to Kentucky, and Michael Panelli, a Catholic doctor whose wife left him for another man. In the eyes of the Catholic Church, Michael is not free to divorce his wife and marry Regina, yet neither can deny the intense emotional and physical attraction they feel for one another. Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, a time before the sexual revolution, before women's liberation, and before Vatican II, Regina and Michael must tackle the strict decorum of society in order to unapologetically and guiltlessly experience the healing, unifying, and sacred grace of their love.

An original novel set in the universe of Star Trek: Voyager—and the sequel to the New York Times bestseller Protectors! Admiral Kathryn Janeway has now taken command of the Full Circle Fleet. Her first mission: return to the Delta Quadrant and open diplomatic relations with the Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant, a civilization whose power rivals that of the Federation. Captain Chakotay knows that his choices could derail the potential alliance. While grateful to the Confederacy Interstellar Fleet for rescuing the Federation starships from an alien armada, Voyager’s captain cannot forget the horrors upon which the Confederacy was founded. More troubling, it appears that several of Voyager’s old adversaries have formed a separate and unlikely pact that is determined to bring down the Confederacy at all costs. Sins of the past haunt the crew members of the Full Circle Fleet as they attempt to chart a course for the future. Will they learn much too late that some sins can never be forgiven…or forgotten? ™, ®, & © 2014 CBS Studios, Inc. STAR TREK and related marks are trademarks of CBS Studios, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The women in Acts of Contrition face society's devaluation, from parents, from elders, from all who assume authority over them. They battle oppressions as simple as gender stereotyping, as complex as prerequisites to friendship or love. Some can look back and laugh, some find luck in their escape from harm, some engineer their own good fortune, all the while riding a wave of dark humor. What all the characters come to understand is that silence places them at greater risk than speaking out. They progress toward freedom through the telling of their stories.

Love and Care for the Marginalized is a 40-day meditational for Catholics based on reflections from popes, saints, religious leaders, movie quotes, and others on how God speaks to each of us about the importance of outreaching to those who have been hurt, rejected, and marginalized. Whether you are on the giving or receiving end in terms of marginalization, we have all experienced the world's treatment of those who are uncared for and unloved. Each meditation includes a quote, reflection, a prayer, and a call to action. The book is based on the command of Christ in the Biblical book of Matthew 25 where Jesus talks about the importance of loving and caring for those in greatest need and acting on their behalf. This book will help the reader to reflect upon the importance of making a difference for those who are alone, rejected and forgotten. The book was born out of much reflection, thought and most of all, prayer.

But in spite of movies, parties, and good friends, she must confront the brutal death of a woman she and her friends had loved.
