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.

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.
