How Can I Forgive You?

In her long-awaited second book, award-winning author Janis Spring debunks the myth that forgiving is the only healthy, morally sound response to violation and proposes an authentic, life-affirming alternative that lets us overcome the corrosive effects of hate and get on with our lives--without forgiving. She also offers a powerful and unconventional model for genuine forgiveness that asks as much of the offender as it does of the hurt party.

This bold and healing book offers concrete, step-by-step instructions that help us to make peace with our partner, parent, sibling, child, in-law, or friend--and with ourselves. Penetrating and beautifully written, How Can I Forgive You is bound to change forever the way we think about forgiveness and how we recover from intimate wounds.
