The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Unforgivable

In this artfully written and inspiring book, you will find stories compiled by author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt about the challenges and rewards of forgiveness, even in the face of events and actions so horrible as to seem unforgivable. Schwarzenegger Pratt has conducted interviews with more than twenty people, some famous (or infamous) and others not, who have had to reckon with the weight of a wrong done and figure out how to move forward. From Sue Klebold, whose son Dylan was one of the Columbine shooters, to Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at age 14, the stories included in this book can only cause the reader to marvel at the human capacity for forgiveness, and all the shapes and forms that that capacity takes. Whether we need to forgive ourselves or others, this book can help you understand the value in this simple but powerful act, and perhaps even nudge you along the path towards achieving it yourself.
