Heal and Forgive presents a first-hand description of child abuse, taking the reader through the distinctive stumbling blocks encountered by adult survivors of abuse who are attempting to forgive. This book clearly points to the need to validate their story with a sympathetic listener, express their anger in appropriate ways, mourn for their losses, and protect themselves and others from re-injury. Forgiveness is a process that is transformational, and, when all is said and done, that process is an act of love.
