The last person I would ever expect to be waiting on the front porch for me in the middle of the night was Everly Higgins.

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.

Em contraste, O Veredito, escrito numa única noite em 1912, traz o tribunal para dentro da casa, para o laço entre pai e filho. Aqui, o julgamento é íntimo, emocional, psicológico. O confronto entre Georg Bendemann e seu pai revela o nascimento da culpa kafkiana: uma culpa que existe antes do crime, que se herda, que se impõe pela linguagem e pela autoridade familiar.
