Description

The Forgiveness Stones craze is sweeping the nation-instantly recognizable pouches of stones that come with a chain letter and two simple requests: to forgive, and then to seek forgiveness. But New Orleans' favourite talk show host, Hannah Farr, isn't biting. Intensely personal, she has kept her own Forgiveness Stones hidden for two years - and her dark past for two decades. But for both her fans and her husband she must embark on a public journey of forgiveness or risk losing life as she knows it.

Reviews

Spielman spins an effervescent tale in which betrayals fizzle out into human weaknesses and grudges dissolve into mercy. Bright prose, a plucky heroine, and more than a few plot twists make for a delightful, light read.Kirkus Reviews

"Spielman's heroine is both likable and relatable, and the power of confession, forgiveness, and love shines all the way through this touching novel."Library Journal

Sweet Forgiveness will make you rethink everything you know about forgiveness and love.Amy Sue Nathan, author of The Glass Wives

Delivers living, breathing characters and a page-turning plot that forces us to admit that the histories we have constructed for ourselves may be more fiction than fact, and the role we actually played may be less victim than villain.Julie Lawson Timmer, author of Five Days Left
