Kat is excited to sleep in her own room - the big girl room - for
the very first time. But her younger sister, Tina, is nervous to
sleep in their old room without her. So, Kat comes up with a plan:
she'll give all of her stuffed animals to her younger sister, and
every time Tina gets scared, she should hold them close and be
reminded of all the wonderful things each animal represents:
bravery, creativity, love, and imagination. But that night, as a
storm thunders outside their windows, it turns out that the big
girl room can feel a bit lonely. And Kat might be the one who needs
the extra support.
'Done well, forgiveness can work miracles. Many people dont forgive,
and carry resentments for the rest of their lives. When we learn to
embrace forgiveness, it opens new worlds of possibilities. It helps
heal old wounds. It creates space for new and healthier relationships.
It lets us understand our past, without being trapped by it and it
allows us to live more freely in the present.' - Katherine
Schwarzenegger Pratt.
Written with grace and understanding and based on more than twenty
in-depth interviews and stories as well as personal reflections from
Schwarzenegger Pratt herself, The Gift of Forgiveness is about one of
the most difficult challenges in life - learning to forgive. Here,
Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt shows us what we can learn from those
who have struggled with forgiveness, some still struggling, and others
who have been able to forgive what might seem truly unforgivable. The
book features experiences from those well-known and unknown, including
Elizabeth Smart, who learned to forgive her captors; Sue Klebold, whose
son, Dylan, was one of the Columbine shooters, learning empathy and how
to forgive herself; Chris Williams, who forgave the drunken teenager
who killed his wife and child; and of course Schwarzenegger Pratt's own
challenges and path to forgiveness in her own life. All provide
different journeys to forgiveness and the process - sometimes slow and
thorny, sometimes almost instantaneous - by which they learned to
forgive and let go. The Gift of Forgiveness is a perfect blend of
personal insights, powerful quotations, and hard-won wisdom for those
seeking a way to live with greater acceptance, grace, and peace.
