Some people enter your life and divide it forever into before and after.

Long before Latifa, Saule learned how to become the woman everyone expected. Raised in a traditional post-Soviet world, she grows up between inherited expectations and the desire to choose her own life. Marriage, motherhood, work, and a dependable home eventually give her the life she once hoped for.

She is surrounded and she is loved. And somewhere inside, she is still alone.

Then Latifa enters her life.

In her new friend, Saule feels she has found everyone she had ever needed and never found. Their bond is shaped by admiration, respect, ease, and the rare joy of feeling entirely understood. As Saule begins to glimpse wounds beneath her friend’s strength that feel painfully familiar, she is drawn deeper into a life that no one else can see, unaware of where their friendship will eventually lead them.

Based on a true story, Unforgivable is a gripping psychological story of female friendship, secrecy, loyalty, guilt, and the devastating consequences of believing that good intentions can justify the choices we make for someone else.

What if the person who hurt you most believed she was helping you?
