Forgiveness Is a Choice: Teachings about Peace and Love [Paperback]

How could you forgive a terrorist?
A month or so before Christmas 2008, Kia Scherr lost her husband and teenage daughter to the horrific Mumbai terrorist attack at the Oberoi. In a second, her life was clouded with grief, and since then, it has been a convoluted journey of resilience and recovery.
In Forgiveness is a Choice, Scherr peels back the many layers of personal bereavement. She moves beyond the incident, focusing on the reality of dealing with sorrow that rears its ugly heads in myriad forms. Never mawkish, her writing offers everyday advice on how to meander grief-laden experiences. A tender and understanding guide on getting a grip and taking life one day at a time.

Kia Scherr has spent 20 years studying, practicing and teaching at the Sanctuary Holistic Retreat Center in Virginia. After her husband and 13-year-old daughter were killed in the Mumbai terrorist attack of 2008, Kia co-founded One Life Alliance to teach peace education programs based on Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. Kia spent 6 years in Mumbai working with business, education and police. Forgiveness is a Choice is her debut non-fiction book.
