Join Kristin Koval on tour for Penitence, a poignant exploration of love and forgiveness that examines the complexities of familial loyalty and the journey of redemption, compelling readers to consider whether the worst thing we’ve ever done is all that defines us.
“This story begins with a shocking act of violence but unfolds into a tender story of family, long-held secrets, and what ifs. Penitence is both a gripping page-turner and a loving exploration of what it really means to forgive. I look forward to whatever Kristin Koval writes next.”
—Mary Beth Keane, bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes and The Half Moon
“When we meet Angie and David Sheehan at the start of this impressive debut novel, their lives have been shattered by violence, but the journey of the book is one of forgiveness and understanding, of learning how to come to terms with the past. Kristin Koval’s prose is crisp and readable and insightful, allowing the reader access into multiple characters so that we see all sides of this story as it unfolds. Penitence will grab you on its first page and hold you tight until the end.”
—Laura Spence-Ash, author of Beyond That, the Sea
