Description
What if forgiveness was the only way to reclaim your life—but the hardest thing you’ve ever done?
Paul Drugan grew up in a world where silence was survival and pain was hidden behind closed doors. Years later, when the weight of shame became unbearable, he made a choice—to confront the past and rewrite his story. In this searingly honest memoir, Drugan shares his journey from devastation to healing, from self-destruction to self-acceptance. With an unflinching voice and a deeply compassionate heart, he explores the power of forgiveness—not for the one who caused the pain, but for himself.
If you’ve ever carried wounds that weren’t yours to bear, this book is for you. If you’ve ever longed for freedom from the past, this book is for you. The road to healing is never easy, but it is always worth it.
