review:
'Forgiveness is Really Strange' by Marina Cantacuzino and Masi Noor with illustrations by Sophie Standing is a graphic novel that talks about a difficult subject.

What is forgiveness? Should it always be given? What does forgiveness do to our brain and body? These questions and more are covered. There are lots of real world quotes from people who have been wronged. The thorny questions remain around allowing the person who wronged you off the hook to err again. We forgive for what it does for us, though. Not for what it can do for others.

Having gone through a tough bout of forgiveness, I would have found this book very helpful. I wish I'd had it at the time. There are no easy answers, but this book chooses a path that helps the wronged and may clear the way for restoration, although not always.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Singing Dragon, Jessica Kingsley Publishers, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
