Summary: "The topic of forgiveness is one that resonates. We will all experience relationships that enrich our lives or are a source of distress, pain, or even trauma. When relationships are strong and healthy our lives are more vibrant, and when relationships fall short of our expectations or even harmful, our lives are filled with challenges and personal struggles. In any event, few relationships in our lives are perfect. Inevitably, we may be let down by the people we count on most, and how these relationships are eventually reconciled or abandoned is the subject of this book"--
