Debut book Forgiveness gains praise and a Medicine Hat reception
Collin Gallant reports Mark Sakamoto's Forgiveness earns national acclaim with a public reception on Tuesday June 10 at the Esplanade in Medicine Hat. The book follows Mitsuo Sakamoto and Archie MacLean-Sakamoto's grandparents during World War II and how both sides chose to reject anger and pass on a hopeful legacy. Sakamoto, raised in Medicine Hat and now a Toronto lawyer, calls the story rooted locally and universal in its themes of forgiveness and renewal.
