Synopsis

An extraordinary story of a father’s forgiveness towards his son’s killer.

When Robin Oake's son, Special Branch officer Stephen, was killed by a terrorist while on duty, a press conference was called. There, a journalist asked the question, 'Mr Oake, what do you think about the man who killed your son?' and received a startling reply: 'I don't know the man or the circumstances but from my heart I forgive him.' Another journalist said, 'You what?' and our response may be the same.

But in this powerful and often moving book, born out of the tragedy of Stephen’s death, Robin shares his story and the reasons for his amazing forgiveness. Using examples from his long experience in the police force – he was the Chief Constable of the Isle of Man Constabulary – he helps us to explore the 'why' and the 'how' of forgiveness - even in extreme circumstances.
