Forgive For You is a story about learning to live well with reality, even (and especially) when it doesn’t come with clarity, closure, or apology. Blending sharp insight and raw honesty, the author reflects on love, loss, kinship, trauma, marriage, divorce, and what it means to forgive it all–not for others, but for ourselves. This isn’t a tale of tidy resolution. It’s a winding, at times bewildering, emotional journey through secrets kept and truths uncovered. It’s the reckoning of a rage that could burn the world, and the forging of resilience from fury and surrender.

And after a smoking hot weekend together, I realize I could use a little more Juliet in my life. See her again? Sure. But it’s still just a fling. I have my reasons. My heart can’t take more.
