Rita Daley met her husband in a religious cult. They've been happily married for forty years, but Rita is still obsessed with their former leader, Leland Swarm. When Leland invites himself into the family home, and then announces his plan to revive People Under God's Command in New Zealand, Rita believes that he's offering her a last chance at salvation. Leland's arrival coincides with Rita's daughter, Stella, who has retreated home after the end of a relationship and is in no mood to flatter a religious guru. Rita throws herself into Leland's quest for fame and interferes in Stella's life, but if she can't face the emotional truths of what happened forty years before, she may alienate her daughter and destroy her own marriage. Acts of Love is an unputdownable story of passion and ambition, love and duty, and what 'God' can mean to different people. Acts of Love is not just an exploration of the different types of love that humans share; it's a captivating story peopled with rambunctious characters who continue to surprise until the end. - Rachel King, author of The Sound of Butterflies, named Best First Book at the 2007 Montana New Zealand Book Awards
