As 1947 began, Lynn Horvath was a ten-year-old girl living with her family and friends in a comfortable neighborhood in West Los Angeles. World War II had ended, and for Southern California, it was a time of parties and prosperity. Then, the neighborhood was shocked by the brutal murder of Jeanne French, a popular and kind person. ACTS OF KINDNESS, ACTS OF CONTRITION explores the lingering shadows of this true and still unsolved murder. As Lynn and her friends become adults under the shadow of the murder, they must make dramatic choices and decisions, some wise, some heroic, and some tragic. The book follows the radical cultural changes that occur between the 1940's and the present time
