PLEASE FORGIVE ME

When Geri Sanders was a pregnant, unwed sixteen year old, her parents forced her to give up her beautiful baby for adoption. To placate her strict father, who had to win the family battle with his not-so-favorite oldest daughter, she’s lived thereafter with tormenting guilt and a broken heart. On the day of her baby’s birth, she expected to lose her lovely and healthy boy forever.

Five weeks ago, Geri had hired an experienced and well-respected genealogy researcher to delve into her past. She made one final attempt to find her son and invite him back into her life. Three words were on her mind—Please Forgive Me. If needed background information does exist through computer accessible records and paper files references to lost family members may emerge with surprising ease. During pre-internet years, two other family history researchers had told Geri their same sad opinion: the files to locate her son were incomplete or missing. Soon after she’d given up her baby the paper trail stopped; her son’s adopting family had moved, and then, they’d disappeared. Throughout her twenty-eight year marriage, neither Geri’s husband nor her son and two daughters had known of her heartbreaking secret.

Jamie Monroe is a successful single father to his precocious five-year-old daughter. Geri rejoices when, according to the most recent research, Jamie is introduced as her lost son. His young, loving and devoted wife had died one year earlier of what he called, “That damned cancer.” Now, amid his first romance since his wife’s death, he has nagging and persistent doubts about it surviving—until recently, everything about Laura had seemed so relationship perfect.

Later, Jamie meets Lisa, Geri’s lovely and youngest daughter. She’s seven years younger than Jamie is. The instant their eyes meet, both of them feel the irresistible attraction between them. Through a slip of the tongue, Lisa learns of her mother’s heartbreaking adoption story. She quickly realizes the true family implications for her and Jamie. Now their possible romance is strictly forbidden. Lisa demands immediate answers from her mother about the adoption. Otherwise, later, when the truth is known, it may destroy the trust Geri’s entire family has for her—what other dark secrets does she hide? Geri knows too, that her newly exposed tragic past places her own unhappy marriage in worse peril. While uncertain possibilities indicate a happy conclusion, will Geri’s youthful troubles finally be resolved?

Can genuine lifelong romantic love between Jamie and Lisa emerge triumphant if they ignore society’s standards? Should Lisa and Jamie remain together regardless of what others think about their rumored genetic connection? Will they stay together, move away and disregard everyone else in their lives? Is Jamie really Geri’s son? After all, should they marry, some family members may still banish them. Click now, and discover the resolution to Geri, Lisa and Jamie’s uncertain future.
