About the Book

ACTS OF CONTRITION is the story of a family's battle with the truth of the past, and the sometimes painful impact of the past upon the present. The story unfolds over a period of more than forty years and illustrates our ability to offer love, compassion and forgiveness to one another in spite of our own heartache and disappointment. Caroline and Robert had a happy life and raise a family together as husband and wife. After Robert's death, Caroline stumbles upon hidden details of Robert's past and is forced to deal with not only the loss of Robert in her daily life, but the loss of Robert as the man she perceived him to be for so many years. It is an emotional journey which encompasses forgiveness --- not only personally but spiritually. Was their marriage a farce? Is it possible to find true love more than once in a lifetime? Is it possible to truly offer understanding and forgiveness when the words, "I'm sorry," were never spoken?
About the Author: Janis Anderson Yelton writes murder mysteries which keep you on the edge of your seat. Janis refers to her books as "Easy Reads," being fast paced and entertaining.. "There will be no page skipping in my books," Janis proclaims. "My books are full of action and suspense - and not a lot of lengthy sunrise descriptions." But how Yelton began to write is a story in itself. In 1997, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but along with this hardship came a "gift" - creativity. Janis began to write books. Was the creative side of her brain working harder to compensate for the diseased portion? Neither Janis nor her physicians knew. But what they did know she only one of many to experience interest in new endeavors, after their Parkinson's diagnosis. Researchers now speculate approximately 20% of PD patients experience a change which comes from medication. In 2003 Janis' first book was published; but shortly thereafter, her Parkinson's, a progressive disease, had advanced and kept her from writing. Then in September 2010 Janis began participation in a research study at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, involving a new medicine delivery system. "Voila!" Janis got her life back which includes her writing. Janis was raised in Northern Kentucky, where she and her husband continue to reside, as do their five grown children and nine grandchildren. The following books are available: LESSONS LEARNED; WHOSE BABY IS THIS?; I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING & I'LL FIND YOU; FOR A MOTHER'S LOVE; SAVING MOLLY JANE HAMPTON; and ACTS OF CONTRITION.
