Description

Once a star of the literary world, Barbara Miniswell hasn't written a single line in five years. Trapped in a fog of whiskey and writer’s block, she sets out on a quest for inspiration — one that takes her to the darkest corners of New York City… with a bag full of cash and a sword.

From fighting pigeons and reliving childhood trauma in an underground fight club, to forgiving drunk construction workers and finding wisdom in a bucket-throwing mother — Barbara's journey is anything but ordinary.

Absurd, dramatic, and unexpectedly tender,Forgiveness and Whiskeyis a story about broken families, unexpected punches, dramatic running, and the power of letting go.

Because sometimes, the only way to write again… is to get knocked across the room by a man named Mike Torpedo.
