Hi! I'm Nancy Richards.
I am the author of, "Heal and Forgive: Forgiveness in the Face of Abuse," and "Heal and Forgive II: The Journey from Abuse and Estrangement to Reconciliation."
My struggle to recover from childhood abuse began a life-long journey of healing and self-discovery. After many painful detours, wrong turns and dead ends, I cleared away the roadblocks and found the path to peace.
The biggest stumbling block I encountered along the way was the pressure I felt to forgive prematurely. I wish I knew then that forgiveness is a multi-layered journey that happens on our own timetable, including the time when we are unable to forgive.
