Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 20th century Chicago, Rebellion weaves a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of human relationships. Within the intimate confines of a barroom, a home, and the workplace, the story unfolds through the eyes of an alcoholic who rationalizes his addiction with the lure of “just one drink.” A devoted priest stands firm on the Church’s stance regarding the indissolubility of marriage. This richly characterized tale delves into the impact of human frailties, unexpected acts of generosity, and the weight of religious beliefs. Critics hail it as “almost photographic in its accuracy of detail” (The New York Herald) and affirm that “every person in it is someone you know” (The Call). The author skillfully allows both sides of the debate to voice their perspectives, making the narrative all the more compelling.
