Product Information
"A vibrant and moving debut that takes to heart our deferred dreams and the value of remaining hopeful."-Diane Marie Brown, author of Black Candle Women How much of their lineage is one family willing to unearth in order to participate in the nation's first federal reparations program? Every American waits with bated breath to see whether or not the country's first female president will pass the Forgiveness Act. The bill would allow Black families to claim up to $175,000 if they can prove they are the descendants of slaves, and for ambitious single mother Willie Revel the bill could be a long-awaited form of redemption. A decade ago, Willie gave up her burgeoning journalism career to help run her father's struggling construction company in Philadelphia and she has reluctantly put family first, without being able to forget who she might have become.Now she's back living with her parents and her young daughter while trying to keep her family from going into bankruptcy. Could the Forgiveness Act uncover her forgotten roots while also helping save their beloved home and her father's life's work? In order to qualify, she must first prove that the Revels are descended from slaves, but the rest of the family isn't as eager to dig up the past. Her mother is adopted, her father doesn't trust the government and believes working with a morally corrupt employer is the better way to save their business,and her daughter is just trying to make it through the fifth grade at her elite private school without attracting unwanted attention. It's up to Willie to verify their ancestry and save her family-but as she delves into their history, Willie begins to learn just how complicated family and forgiveness can be. With powerful insight and moving prose, Acts of Forgiveness asks how history shapes who we become and considers the weight of success when it is achieved despite incredible odds-and ultimately what leaving behind a legacy truly means.

Reviews
"In Acts of Forgiveness, Maura Cheeks extends humanity, depth, hope, and complexity to a part of the American experience that too often gets flattened into talking points. This book is a testament to the power of great fiction to lead us to a better understanding of the truth. A generous and empathetic study of burden and inheritance, consequence and regret, this book and its characters are going to live with me for a long time." --R. Eric Thomas, bestselling author of Congratulations, the Best Is Over! " Acts of Forgiveness is a striking debut that asks pressing and urgent questions about reckoning with this nation's history. Yet, what it offers by way of answers is incredibly moving. Cheek's ability to render a painful past, an unfixed present and a hopeful future through the Revel's hopes and fears is astonishing. This novel grips with intellect and heart." --Cleyvis Natera, author of Neruda on the Park " Acts of Forgiveness is the rare novel that lays out a hypothetical public policy and its attendant bureaucracy, weaving a story about family with an imaginative yet realistic exploration of what reparations might look like--what might be missed and what might be achieved. But above all it is a story about family, with all the challenge, ambiguity, interconnection, obligation, and love the term carries. A generous, thoughtful, and thought-provoking novel about inheritance in all its forms." --Lydia Kiesling, author of The Golden State, " Acts of Forgiveness is a vibrant and moving debut that takes to heart our deferred dreams and the value of remaining hopeful. Cheeks's layered and tender story allows us to witness a family's journey as they plant seeds, dig up roots, and bloom, all while they contend with injustices and fight for redemption in the world around them." --Diane Marie Brown, author of Black Candle Women "In Acts of Forgiveness, Maura Cheeks extends humanity, depth, hope, and complexity to a part of the American experience that too often gets flattened into talking points.

A generous, thoughtful, and thought-provoking novel about inheritance in all its forms." --Lydia Kiesling, author of The Golden State "Engrossing . . . [Maura] Cheeks seamlessly threads the themes of resentment, forgiveness, and legacy through the multilayered narrative. Readers will be moved." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), " Acts of Forgiveness is the rare novel that lays out a hypothetical public policy and its attendant bureaucracy, weaving a story about family with an imaginative yet realistic exploration of what reparations might look like--what might be missed and what might be achieved.
