Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Gift of Forgiveness
Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt · 2021
84/100
👍 Worth It
Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt lets her subjects do the heavy lifting — Elizabeth Smart, Sue Klebold, Chris Williams — and the result is genuinely moving. These are extraordinary stories of forgiveness in the face of unimaginable loss, and the author's faith-informed framing adds warmth without narrowing the book's reach. Mainstream critical praise and New York Times bestseller status reflect real quality here, not celebrity hype.
