The Myth of Forgiveness

Lauren lives inside the delicate balance that keeps love alive, quietly absorbing what was never really healed, protecting everyone from the weight of the truth.

Trying to keep the peace begins to show its cracks, living with the lie that forgiving fixes everything. Forgiving him for leaving her alone. Forgiving her father who left when she was a child. Forgiving her mother who always kept her distance. Forgiving herself for staying, for ignoring red flags, for trying so hard to make it all make sense.
 

This is not a story about how to forgive or why we should. It is a story about what becomes possible when Lauren starts telling the truth about what really happened & all the ways it shaped her life.

For anyone who has ever thought, “I should be over this by now,” while something tender inside whispers, “I don’t know how to let this go” The Myth of Forgiveness offers a fresh perspective. 

By the time you close the book, you can begin to loosen your own belief that you have to forgive in order to heal.
