Please Forgive Me!
We follow Emily, Sylvia, Paul and Gavin’s lives from 1990s carefree children through to the years of 2020-21 and the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Emily and Gavin become teenage lovers, but Gavin goes off to university to study law, giving a jealous Sylvia the opportunity to get close to him. His work takes them to the USA. Meanwhile, Emily and Paul get married.
The years pass through to 2019, when a disillusioned Sylvia returns to Britain and subsequently wreaks havoc against Emily’s happy but childless marriage. This culminates in Sylvia having a terrible breakdown, and Emily suspecting that Sylvia is carrying Paul’s baby.
Gavin also returns to Britain to visit his parents, but realises immediately on seeing Emily that he is still in love with his childhood sweetheart, who turns to him when her marriage is in turmoil.
Due to the tragedy of the Covid-19 pandemic and severe lockdown restrictions, Emily cannot leave Paul, despite the fact that her friend might be having his baby, and Gavin cannot return to the USA to avoid his feelings for Emily.
With their lives in turmoil, and a final twist of fate to thwart Emily, what will become of their relationships set against the course of the pandemic?

About the author:
Carol M. Creasey
Kent born author Carol M. Creasey wrote her first book about her autistic son in 1993 titled My Life is Worth Living! With four children to cope with, that book brilliantly reflects her struggles balancing a full family life and still giving her son the extra care he needed. Many years later, in her novel The Power of Love, Carol drew from these same experiences to write about the life of a young 1960s mother coping with an autistic son.
As well as looking after her family, Carol has had a career as a manager in various china and glass merchandising establishments and also owned her own shop. Writing has always remained an important part in Carol’s life, and since the publication of that first book about her autistic son, she has published seven novels and her autobiography Candidly Carol. Carol has been the recipient of three Reader’s Choice Awards, winning a coveted first place with the recently republished My Life is Worth Living!
