The author of several books, she has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, The Atlantic, Time, and other publications.
“Ruttenberg’s book sets out guidelines for full-hearted
repentance—the kind of atonement that people should do, but often
don’t.”
—Sandra Collins, Library Journal
“Excellent, necessary . . . Her careful and thoughtful writing
frequently includes the voices of others, centering the needs of
victims and holding the words of perpetrators to account.”
—Emily Dziuban, Booklist
“A must-read for anyone navigating the work of justice and
healing.”
—Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley
"Although the book is based in Jewish concepts, it’s really a book
for anyone looking to see how our society can acknowledge its harm
and create the world we’d like to see."
—Jaime Herndon, Bookriot
“[Ruttenberg] is a serious scholar who writes in ways that are
accessible and engaging to all.”
—Cathy Corman, Provincetown Independent
“When you read Danya Ruttenberg’s brilliant book, you see with
fresh eyes that there is a huge omission in contemporary culture:
we don’t have a road map for how someone who’s done harm can change
and make amends to others, nor do we discuss why this is necessary
for both individual recovery and societal well-being.”
—Rebecca Solnit, author of Orwell’s Roses
“A modern and impressive blueprint for confronting and engaging the
effects of harm and the potential for reconciliation.”
—Sherrilyn Ifill, author of On the Courthouse Lawn
“A vital contribution.”
—Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her
