Sarcasm. Hurt feelings. Misunderstanding. Alienation. When hurt people connect with other hurt people, relationship breakdowns are sure to occur. Why is it so hard to patch things up? Who should make the first move? This book on reconciliation tackles how to forgive the "un—forgivable," how to move past the hurt, and how to restore relationships by restoring trust.
