Mary-Eisa shares nuggets of spiritual wisdom in Forgiveness & Prayers: Steps to Heal from Family Trauma. Though we never hear of the author's own family trauma, it is with purpose. If we are going to truly forgive ourselves, we must recognize that, "The past was over and gone. It could not hurt [us] again." So we should let it go.

In addition to sharing tips on forgiving yourself and others, Mary-Eisa shares prayers to help you strengthen your relationship with God and to recognize what it means to truly see, communicate, and believe in your own next step.

"Forgiveness is the puzzle piece that can become the hardest because it isn't as easy as saying you forgive, waving a magic wand, and walking around feeling like you achieved it."

The author's prose is scintillating and warm. I'm always engaged as the author navigates the pushes and pulls of the spiritual self. The book doesn't pretend that what you've done or what your neighbor has done isn't wrong; instead, it meets each person in their present moment and gives them every chance to do something special, meaningful, loving, or beyond.

"I will always be traveling on an endless journey of learning."
