A most impressive book…so powerful that tears often impede reading.

Why Forgive? shows humanity at its gut-churning worst and ennobling best through the experience of people who have endured unthinkable losses and struggled to make peace with their perpetrators.

Thought-provoking and soul-challenging…Arnold writes with an eye-opening simplicity that zings the heart.
