Forgiveness
Letting go of guilt and shame that were never yours to carry.
About the book
Setting down the weight of shame
Shame can be one of the heaviest things a person carries. For Karianne, it shaped how she walked, how she spoke to herself, and how much of herself she dared to show.
Rising Forgiveness is her personal account of setting that weight down: learning to forgive herself for an illness that was never her fault, and discovering the courage, friendships and small joys that grow when you stop being your own harshest judge.
Honest, gentle and quietly hopeful, it is a book for anyone who is rebuilding, and for the helpers who walk alongside them.
“I want to write this book to convey hope in the hopelessness of others.”
Karianne Mikalsen, Rising Forgiveness
The rest of the journey is waiting inside the book.
