Some things I can understand. A hurrying person, taking a risk. A bus driver not quite paying attention. A swerve to avoid a head on collision... One person in the wrong seat… A miracle nobody else was hurt. Miracle. But not for the person in the wrong seat. It could have happened at any time, to anyone, it is just bad luck. I say, ‘These Things Happen,’ and I breathe in and tell myself it can’t be helped, and I breathe out and tell myself to breathe in again. Some things I can’t understand. What the hell was he doing on a bus? Maggie’s lover, Patrick, is killed in an accident, but he lied about where he would be. Maggie’s grief is overwhelming, but so too is her quest to comprehend why he lied to her. Her efforts to find out the truth and the people she encounters along the way bring her to a whole new understanding of life, death, love and loss.To order your copy of Foregiveness click here What readers are saying about Forgiveness: I met you at the Festival at Red Lion square at your packed workshop in a small room on the top floor.

It’s funny, moving, profound, and it offers so much hope. Clare Goddard, theatre producer, Norwich. Forgiveness operates at many levels, at one and the same time an engaging story that tugs at the heart strings and a journey of discovery laden with spiritual truths in a modern world setting. It is fast moving, intriguing and at times laugh out loud funny. J D Harker, Commercial Director, London I wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed your book. Lots of the thoughts resonated with me and I have used the concept of the yellow dress with many clients to help them find their way forwards. Martin Feaver, health and wellbeing coach, www.positiveimagefitness.co.uk. Easily readable, contemporary, thought provoking Alison Walker, Beauty Therapist, Leeds I finished reading Forgiveness last night - it is a brilliant, brave and shining book. I felt emotionally quite cleaned out by the time I got to the end - I imagine that is the effect it would have on most people, though it stirred chords for me in particular because my first wife died of cancer at the age of 33.
