It Was a Beautiful Day when My Father Died
It Was a Beautiful Day when My Father Died
After his childhood was interrupted by violence, Octavio overcame his fear and anger so profoundly, that he is able to show the rest of us how it's done. This open, raw, autobiographical story of abuse in childhood and violence in adulthood is followed by the author discovering freedom through forgiving. This book takes the often abstract concepts of grace and compassion and makes them exquisitely–often painfully–real.

What Readers are Saying:
“In a word, It was a Beautiful Day when my Father Died is haunting. What I mean by that is that the details of Octavio's story stayed with me long after I read them. It's difficult to read about generational family abuse but it is a reality. I'm thankful Octavio clued me into some of the signs of the abused among adolescence: self-harm and violence.
You could read this book in an afternoon. I've read this book multiple times and understand a little more about what forgiveness is and is not each time.

"Many books will tell you about forgiveness. Octavio Martinez has done something much more powerful: he leads his readers through a visceral experience of forgiveness they won't soon forget. I can think of no more effective way to learn."
