After a grim childhood in Leroy, North Dakota, Gabrielle Chevalier moves her beauty and haughty spirit to Montreal where she marries in 1911. That same year however, a dark, unspeakable sin casts a formidable pall on her promising life. Over the next eighteen years, as per the dictates of her faith, Gaby will suffer her punishment in angry silence.  \u003cp\u003eIn 1932, her penance now officially honoured, a renewed quest for healing propels her to Paris. There, amidst unforeseen and frightening emotions, she becomes Gabrielle, a carefree and dazzling woman she never knew.

Then, gradually, her harrowing dilemma becomes clear: the Church may have forgiven her terrible sin, but she has not. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnly after her long, untoward journey, might Gabrielle finally grant herself the only absolution she ever needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aline Lesage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595394876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595394876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Aline Lesage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435552256255,"sku":"9780595394876","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b96f251-674a-41d5-a7af-8c7dc1d4b344.jpg?v=1777151139","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gabys-penance-aline-lesage-9780595394876","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
