My Two Lives

Life is about choices. For 18-year-old Emma King, she faces a choice which will determine the path her life will follow; does she study at university, or does she join the British Army?


Emma chooses to do both.


Emma King goes to university and meets Jon Clemens. A young carefree half-French student, their connection develops into deep passionate love as they travel the world together, make a home and start their family. Then an unexpected heartbreak shatters Emma’s life and forces it to alter course into the path of troubled US soldier Rick Tavern.


Emma King joins the Army and meets Rick Tavern. A young ambitious US Army soldier who passionately captures Emma’s heart during a military tour. After many years of separation they reunite in the USA, finally beginning their lives together. But their time is cut horribly short by an awful tragedy, diverting Emma’s path towards emotionally damaged divorcee Jon Clemens.


Life is shaped by those we share the journey with. Emma shares hers with Jon and Rick; One woman, two men, two very different lives.
