The Quest for Self-Forgiveness

Lynn Hare · 2017
73/100
👍 Worth It

Lynn Hare earned the right to write this book the hard way — two decades of carrying guilt after her son's injury is not background noise, it's the whole spine of the work. The humor and practical warmth prevent it from becoming a grief memoir, and the Cascade award suggests the writing genuinely delivers. Readers outside the Christian frame will find the theological scaffolding essential to the approach, not decorative.
