A family member we no longer speak to? A work associate who stole our idea for a big presentation? An enemy we don’t understand? The truth is we all do. Now, in this time of fear and uncertainty, our motivation to reach out to those we love, and those we don’t understand, is stronger than ever. We all need to know how to reconcile. Through practical guidance and powerful first-person ac counts, Laura Davis of “I Thought W e’d Never Speak Again” maps the process of mending emotional wounds. She de scribes the steps we need to take to achieve reconciliation in our significant relationships. Throughout the process, Davis distinguishes between reconciliation and forgiveness, noting that we can reconcile without resolving all our differences.

He once received a Supreme Court nomination. But in a nationally televised moment of bitter humiliation, played out before the eyes of his family, he had to withdraw - a public scandal and private agony from which he never recovered. Now his death has raised more questions than his life did, and hints at an even more terrible scandal. To his son Talcott, an Ivy League law professor - and the wryly astute narrator of the story - he has left “the arrangement”: a mysterious puzzle that only Tai can put together. And Tai risks everything to follow his father’s clues to an outcome he can't even begin to fathom. !
