Used book – It's Never Too Late to Forgive Your Parents, Maryse Vaillant

What can we forgive in those to whom we owe everything? And yet... every family is built on resentments, unspoken truths, unspeakable reproaches. Because everyone has experienced the latent or declared unease that leads them down the path of memory, reproach, and pain. From the ordinary small shortcomings to unforgivable crimes, opportunities punctuate the course of a life. Maryse Vaillant has collected moving testimonies, singular but always endowed with a universal scope where everyone will recognize snippets of their own story. What to forgive in one's parents? Why? How to make peace with one's past and thus with oneself? Such is the journey of this subtle yet explosive book. If it is never too late to forgive one's parents, it is because forgiveness takes time. Time to reproach, sometimes even to hate before re-establishing the bond.
