Spielman spins an effervescent tale in which betrayals fizzle out into human weaknesses and grudges dissolve into mercy. Bright prose, a plucky heroine, and more than a few plot twists make for a delightful, light read.

Spielman's heroine is both likable and relatable, and the power of confession, forgiveness, and love shines all the way through this touching novel.

Sweet Forgiveness will make you rethink everything you know about forgiveness and love.

Delivers living, breathing characters and a page-turning plot that forces us to admit that the histories we have constructed for ourselves may be more fiction than fact.
