Ria's story

Readers who enjoyed Jean Brashear's "Coming Home" probably already know that "Forgiveness" tells the same story from the viewpoint (mostly) of Malcolm and Cleo Channing's daughter, Ria. Returning to her childhood home four years after her irresponsibility led to her beloved younger brother's death, Ria must face the fact that her wounded family has fallen apart. Reeling from guilt and running from herself, Ria seems to want only to provide a safe haven for her young son. But in reality she yearns for the forgiveness she has not yet learned to grant herself. Like its prequel, this is a powerful story. It is only slightly diluted by the fact that some passages are repeated verbatim from "Coming Home." One of its strengths is a much greater role for Sandor, whose love helps Ria find her way to forgiveness.
