Book Launch: Bullied to Besties: A Daughter’s Journey To Forgiveness at Bibliotheque

Gayle Kirschenbaum, Emmy Award–winning filmmaker, TEDx speaker, and forgiveness coach, is excited to share her new memoir, BULLIED TO BESTIES: A DAUGHTER’S JOURNEY TO FORGIVENESS.

This brilliant memoir releases on September 27, 2025. It tells the deeply personal story of how Gayle transformed a traumatic and abusive mother-daughter relationship into a profound friendship through the practice of forgiveness.

“Mesmeric… riveting… beautifully wrought… emerging on the other side with a hard-earned connection and an understanding that ‘the biggest gift you can give yourself is to forgive.’”

-Publishers Weekly
