The Complicated Heart: Loving Even When It Hurts

People always ask Sarah how she forgave her alcoholic mother.
How do you forgive someone who wounded you so deeply, who carelessly brushed aside your pain, who caused such destruction? How do you forgive them when your wounds are still open, they show no remorse, and you’re so tangled up with them you’re not sure how to get untangled?

These are the questions Sarah Mae has wrestled with since she was fourteen years old—the year she moved in with her mother.
