Contrition Maura Weiler

In this sweeping, heart-wrenching, and inspiring tale, two twin sisters who were separated at birth reconnect through art, faith, and their late father who touched the world through his paintings.

When journalist and adoptee Dorie McKenna learns that her late biological father was a world-class painter, it comes with another startling discovery: she was born a twin and has a sister known as Sister Catherine, a cloistered nun now living with a vow of silence. What?s even more surprising, Catherine?s artistic talents rival those of her father, but she refuses to show or sell the paintings she offers up as prayers.

Eager to introduce her sister?s genius to the public, Dorie goes on a mission and poses as an aspiring nun at the convent where Catherine lives. But when things don?t go as planned, Dorie winds up jobless, angry, and disillusioned. She changes paths and begins volunteering at the convent, where her spirituality deepens every day and her growing relationship with Catherine helps her come to terms with her own adoption. But soon the sisters? shared biological past and uncertain futures collide as they clash over the meaning and purpose of art. Will they remain side-by-side for the rest of their lives, or will their disagreements deeply change the course of the future?
