Product Description

The first time Jessie laid her eyes on Tommy McBride was in July 1947, when they were still at school - and long before she knew anything about heartbreak or pain. Then she was the sheltered, dreamy minister's daughter, determined to take a bite out of life. And he was the fighter from the wrong side of the tracks, hell-bent on proving himself in the world. They had nothing in common, separate destinies. But in 1947 the world was about to move into new decades of turbulence and change - and it was only the fighters and the dreamers who would make it theirs ...

Why I liked Jessie Gray
Jessie Gray starts off in this book as being called Star, she is 15 at the start of the book. The book is set in 1947 or something like that. I loved this book, I kept on feeling sorry for Jessie all the way through this book, she isn't anything special, she is just normal but she gives everything up for Tommy, who she loved and then he breaks her heart. I'm not going to tell you what happens, you'll have to read it yourself! It is really good though, so are all of Emma Blair's books!! I recommend it to everybody, aged about 16+ but it is an adult's book.
