Vera Palmer

“I was always aware of the scars her life carried.” Vera Palmer is a professor at Dartmouth College. Her mother’s experience in a native mission school left scars on Vera’s mother and Vera herself for years. “I guess the hardest thing for me has been… forgiveness. I worked for years to achieve it and I’m still working, but forgiveness is a tough one for me. …with forgiveness comes a dawning of letting it go.”
