Human, Flawed, Forgiven by Selma J. Geis

Selma J. Geis explores the idea of forgiveness as an act of self-love in Human, Flawed, Forgiven: Letting Go of Blame and Resentment Toward Your Parents (For Your Own Sake), a sensitively written and compassionate book aimed at forgiving abusive or neglectful parents. While forgiveness can be a tall order, Geis makes a methodical case for the value of letting go of childhood pain, using personal anecdotes, psychological research, and insightful advice to show how other people’s behavior doesn’t have to define your life. Powerfully written and expertly organized, this book has the potential to be truly transformative.
