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, the author 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.

Oscar Wilde is remembered as one of the wittiest minds ever, thanks to his provocative style and humor. In the 1890s, he was one of London's most popular playwrights; his masterpieces are The Importance of Being Earnest and the dark and fantastical Picture of Dorian Gray. His writings entwine themes of beauty, decadence and duplicity, which made him a more than colorful agent provocateur in the Victorian society. This would eventually lead to a very public trial after he was accused of sodomy. His defense, punctuated with witticism, often left the court roaring with laughter, but the evidence was against him, and he was eventually sent to prison.

The book follows his travels from Los Angeles, growing up gay with no role models, to San Francisco, where he formed Faith No More and went on to tour the world relentlessly, surviving heroin addiction and the plight of AIDS, to become a queer icon.
