title: Forgiveness: Breaking the Chain of Hate
author:  Michael Henderson 
description: While many books on the market encourage readers to learn to forgive their enemies, this is the first that focuses on the "forgiveness movement" in which the leader of countries or other organizations ask forgiveness from those their countries have injured. Stories include the development of "National Sorry Day" in Australia regarding abuse of the Aboriginal people, the efforts of Nelson Mandela and others in South Africa to forgive the horrors of the past and focus on building a new country, and the apologies given by the United States to the Japanese interred in camps during World War II, one of whom states here that the apology was much more important than the reparitions. It is especially instructive to see how people can move past their anger and how forgiveness often serves as the catalyst for major change. A worthwhile addition to conflict resolution, political science, history, and sociology collections.<br /><i>-Danna C.

  “Tell me why this is a bad idea,” Dallas said.
  
  
  He slid his hand around the back of Joelle’s neck, angling her head. Angling
  her body, too, with the grip he still had on her waist. They were pressed
  against each other like lovers now.
  
  
  “Because you can’t forgive me?” she managed. “Because you hate me?”
  
  
  He was right in her face, and she saw that register in his eyes. Both valid
  reasons. Well, the first one anyway. That didn’t look like hate in all those
  swirls of blue in his eyes. No hate in his body, either. His breath was
  uneven. Heart racing.
  
  
  “Because we don’t have time for this.” Joelle tried again. “And because you’d
  regret it.”
  
  
  Dallas kept staring for what seemed an eternity, and even though he didn’t
  move, her body seemed to think it was about to get lucky with Dallas.
  Everything inside her was melting, urging her to do what Dallas had so far
  resisted.
  
  
  Like kiss him…
