About the Event

Join us for a one of a kind event dedicated to the art of forgiveness as we celebrate the launch of local author and Pearl Works member Luca Oake's book, Forgive for You: A Memoir of Family, Fury, and Freedom.

Enjoy local pizza and pie (savory and sweet). Explore four interactive "Forgiveness Stations" at your own pace. Write a break-up note to a lingering resentment, get a forgiveness flip reframe, or pick up an affirmation card to take home.

Drop in, grab a slice, and engage as you wish.

Book Description

Forgive For You is a story about learning to live well with reality, even (and especially) when it doesn't come with clarity, closure, or apology. Blending sharp insight and raw honesty, Luca Oake reflects on love, loss, kinship, trauma, marriage, divorce, and what it means to forgive it all - not for others, but for ourselves.

This isn't a tale of tidy resolution. It's a winding, at times bewildering, emotional journey through secrets kept and truths uncovered. It's the reckoning of a rage that could burn the world, and the forging of resilience from fury and surrender.

A memoir with a message, Forgive For You is offered as a deeply personal example of how to make peace with people who may never make things right. It's a testament and encouragement to name our pain, own our power, and define forgiveness on our terms.
