Moving Towards Reconciliation
by L aura D avis
H arper C oi . lins ; 2002
Who among us doesn’t carry the pain of a friend who
wronged us? 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.

The Emperor of “The Emperor of Ocean Park” is Judge
ality and accomplishment, conservative and famously contro
versial. 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.
