“But I realized now that forgiveness is not a transaction. It is not an exchange. Forgiveness has nothing to do with the past.”

“Breaking down is the easy part. Anyone, at any time, can break down. The act of coming together again is what makes a hero. Moving on, with an open heart, seems, at times, impossible. But it’s not.”

“A relatable journey of real-life ups and downs - humble reminders throughout, to be more kind and forgiving of others and to ourselves - that letting go is to be grateful for life’s challenges as tests of courage and willingness to forge through fear and disappointment. This book shares many examples of powerful life lessons that inspire us to embrace change as a gift from learning and that making peace with our past is possible if we hold on to what we’ve learned from our experiences and let go of what we cannot change." – SHANIA TWAIN

Critical Praise for Forgiveness
"This is an astonishing book, part memoir, part saga of two Canadian families, Japanese and Canadian, that were at war with each other and found peace and forgiveness together. It is a funny, heart-breaking story of a family scarred by history's pain and their own self-destructiveness, yet redeemed by stoic endurance and the capacity for forgiveness. You're going to remember this book." –MICHAEL IGNATIEFF
