Forgiveness is on its way
The publishers are laying out the print versions. The audiobook has been recorded. And the covers have been selected. All systems are go for the anticipated January 2026 launch of Forgive For You, a deeply personal memoir with a message about making peace with people who may never make things right.
Two design-versions are in the works. The white kintsugi cover shown below will wrap around the hardback Author Edition available now for pre-order. A blue mended-heart cover will wrap around the paperback Amazon Edition due in late January, and will front the ebook and audiobook versions coming in mid-January.
All editions are published by Hearts of Gold Creative in collaboration with the Manhattan Book Group. The Author Edition will be personalized, signed and shipped by me to you. It's priced for collectors and patrons of the larger mission to make forgiveness a practical, learnable life skill for good.
The Amazon Edition, ebook, and audiobook will ship from MBG and be more accessibly priced for everyday readers. If you’re in a book club, or know someone in a book club, or know someone who knows someone in a book club, maybe pitch Forgive For You as an early read in the new year. It's a good time to get into forgiveness.
Moving this book from memory to manuscript has been a thing unto itself. It's felt like plenty enough to do. But somehow, there's now a whole (ad)venture springing out of Forgive For You that i just couldn't have imagined a year ago.
The idea is to build the safest, sanest place on the internet to explore and practice forgiveness. The name is YFFY | You Forgive For You, and there's more about it here.
To start, YFFY is launching a private invite-only Instagram, a doom-scrolling antidote curated for inspiration, insight, and positive impact. YFFY's Insta waitlist is open here.
It's taken 30 years of adulthood to fully see all that forgiveness has given me. Even us introverts, we don't need to hurt alone, and we aren't left to heal alone. Let's gather up and make a movement out of forgiveness. If not for anyone else, let's do it for you.
