I just posted a review of P.S. I Forgive You on Amazon and Goodreads. It’s worth your while to read! Get it on Amazon.
I’ve read two very different books by D.G. Kaye already—Have Bags, Will Travel, a trippy (pun intended) book about her travel adventures complicated by the shopping gene and Conflicted Hearts, the introduction to the mother that created a dysfunctional family. P.S. I Forgive You takes up where Conflicted Hearts leaves off—dealing with the emotional turmoil of dealing with a dying mother. Reconcile? Not a realistic option given all the pain Kaye suffered. She finally broke off several years before and couldn’t engage sympathetically as a dutiful daughter might under the circumstances. While the title is “I Forgive You,” it applies more to herself as her mother in my reading. If you’ve been a part of a dysfunctional family or had a narcissistic parent, this is a book you should read. You’ll see how Kaye survived the emotional roller coaster and wound up becoming a happy and healthy person.
Wowwwwwwwwww. Thanks so much for this beautiful review John. I think you got the message quite clear! I’m going to reblog this and perhaps use it in a post for a promotion I want to do with that book, so I’ll let you know when I put it together. For now, it’s getting shared and going in draft! 🙂 🙂
Hey, I mean it all! I think you rally nailed this. I had a dysfunctional family of sorts but both my parents were gone by the time I hit 16. Then I had the model of a what functional family should be for the two years I lived with my brother and his wife, plus a three-year old.
Well thank you again. And yes, I do remember reading about that in your wonderful book!!!! 🙂 🙂 Will be reblogging! 🙂
Wonderful review, John. I’ve read this memoir and feel it also qualifies as a self-help book. Debby is a guru in her right 🙂
Absolutely! 🙂
Thanks so much Tina for your beautiful compliment. 🙂 <3
