About this event

Everyone carries something they haven’t forgiven — a parent or partner who left, a promise that broke, a wound that never fully healed. In Unwrapping Forgiveness, Heather Mylan-Mains shares her own journey from a shattered four-year-old heart to a life marked by peace, walking readers through the same forgiveness framework that changed her. With honesty and warmth, she shows that forgiveness isn’t a single miraculous moment — it’s a practice, learned one choice at a time. Rooted in faith and real experience, this book meets you wherever your story has taken you and offers a path toward light. Join Heather for a conversation about the book, her journey, and the gift forgiveness gives back to you. Heather Mylan-Mains is a speaker, author with a PhD in life, meaning she survived many pretty hard days. She lives and breathes the message that we are shaped not by what happens to us, but by how we choose to react. Her book, Unwrapping Forgiveness: the Gift of Mercy and Grace, weaves personal story, faith, and a practical seven step framework to guide readers from pain toward peace. She is an Iowa girl living in Des Moines where gratitude is part of her daily life and it’s contagious.
