Hi, all.
I've just submitted Forgive Me by Amanda Eyre Ward to step one. Kurzy gave it a
99.6, and it looks like it will be an easy validation. Page breaks and chapter
headings have been protected. Headers have been stripped. If you have
questions, contact me at:

Here's the synopsis:
From the acclaimed author of How to Be Lost comes a gorgeous new novel about
love, memory, and motherhood.
Nadine Morgan travels the world as a journalist, covering important events,
following dangerous leads, and running from anything that might tie her down.
Since an assignment in Cape Town ended in tragedy and regret, Nadine has not
returned to South Africa, or opened her heart-until she hears the story of
Jason Irving.
Jason, an American student, was beaten to death by angry local youths at the
height of the apartheid era. Years later, his mother is told that Jason's
killers have applied for amnesty. Jason's parents pack their bags and fly from
Nantucket to Cape Town. Filled with rage, Jason's mother resolves to fight
the murderers' pleas for forgiveness.
As Nadine follows the Irvings to beautiful, ghost-filled South Africa, she is
flooded with memories of a time when the pull toward adventure and intrigue
left her with a broken heart. Haunted by guilt and a sense of remorse, and
hoping to lose herself in her coverage of the murder trial, Nadine grows closer
to Jason's mother as well as to the mother of one of Jason's killers-with
profound consequences. In a country both foreign and familiar, Nadine is forced
to face long-buried demons, come to terms with the missing pieces of her own
family past, and learn what it means to truly love and to forgive.
Happy validating.
Shannon
