My Friend Discipline

But, I Forgive You is a raw and unflinching memoir that traces a young widow’s journey through violent loss, false accusation, prolonged injustice, and the slow, costly work of forgiveness. Written from lived experience, the book recounts the murder of the author’s husband, the years-long silence of the justice system, and the eventual confrontation with the men responsible for his death.

This is not a story that minimizes harm or rushes healing. It tells the truth about grief, fear, spiritual disorientation, and the toll of carrying unanswered questions for decades. At the same time, it bears witness to the sustaining presence of God and the difficult, deliberate choice to forgive—not as denial, but as obedience and spiritual freedom.

But, I Forgive You is offered as a narrative of testimony rather than instruction. It is shared in the Open Library for personal reading and reflection, particularly for those navigating grief, injustice, trauma, or the long road toward wholeness.
