Acts of Love

by Susan Pearce

Exploring what happens when love for family and love for religion overlap, this novel follows a woman swept into a religious cult, who believes she has been offered one last chance at salvation. With her deeper involvement in the cult comes increasing alienation from her daughter and husband, resulting in a dangerous entanglement of passion, ambition, love, and duty.

About the author

I live in Wellington, New Zealand. My first novel, Acts of Love, was published by Victoria University Press in 2007. I love to hear that people have read the book, even if a single copy is going around an entire book club. Someone recently told me that Leland reminded her of [the media's depiction of] Julian Assange.
