Grudge: Understanding Resentment, Justice, and the Desire to Be Heard is a compassionate reflection on why we hold on to emotional pain-and what it reveals about our longing for dignity. Challenging the view that resentment is weakness, this book reframes the grudge as a response to injustice, a protest against silence, and a plea to be understood.

With clarity and care, Dr. Hussam Atef Elkhatib explores the personal, cultural, and moral dimensions of resentment-not to offer quick solutions, but to deepen our understanding. This is not a guide to forgiveness. It is an invitation to honor the voice within that aches to be heard.
