    Suspenseful and richly atmospheric, June Hur's The Forest of Stolen Girls is a haunting historical mystery sure to keep readers guessing until the last page.1426, Joseon (Korea). Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest near a gruesome crime scene. Years later, Detective Min―Hwani's father―learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared from the same forest that nearly stole his daughters. He travels to their hometown on the island of Jeju to investigate
 only to vanish as well. Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail.

We struggle under the weight of unforgiveness.Though we know God has called us to forgive others, we find ourselves asking:What if it hurts too much to forgive?What if the other person isn't sorry?How can I let someone off the hook for doing something so wrong?Biblical counselor June Hunt has been there herself, enabling her to speak from experience as she offers biblical help and hope with heartfelt compassion. If you've been pinned down under a landslide of pain, here's how to find true freedom through forgiveness.
