A Woman's Faith Synopsis

Donovan Steele returns to Quebec to be married and finds his fiancée in the arms of another man. This shatters his faith in God and woman alike, and he takes to the wilderness, becoming known as "the man who denies God." Visiting a small town, he renews his acquaintance with Nerée Caron, whom he met on a train and who, it happens, is unjustly wanted by the law for the murder of her brother. When Nerée's uncle comes looking for her, Donovan throws him off Nerée's track; Donovan, however, is not clever enough to fool Cluny, her uncle's secretary, who finds Nerée and attempts to force her first to the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupré, where, on the Sacred Stairway, she prays for guidance. She then learns that her uncle has confessed to the murder of her brother, and she and Donovan are wed in the chapel.
