Synopsis

Growing up in a small seaside town, Marcie Brooks dreams of owning a Mary Quant mini-skirt, the Beatles, and escape. Instead she's stuck in a dead-end job selling candy floss to tourists and with a crazy family. Her grandmother sees ghosts, her step-mother is unable to control her growing family and Marcie's father is usually in and out of prison or away 'working' for East End gangsters.Despite it all, Marcie adores her father, but Tony's light fingers and hard man reputation mean most people give the Brooks family a wide birth. Sometimes Marcie even wishes she had a respectable dad like her friend Rita; well-groomed, wealthy by local standards and surprisingly attentive to a teenage girl. But when she discovers Tony may have had something to do with her real mother's death, Marcie finds her friend's father is more than just a shoulder to cry on...Mia Dolan's novels will appeal to all saga readers, especially fans of Katie Flynn .

Goodreads review by Linda on March 29, 2012

I did enjoy this book but annoyed that this is a series so the book I have is the third in the series not the second, so now I have to wait till I get the second book before I can continue. Why don't the authors inform you when you buy the books that they are part of a series.......more

Mia has certainly captured the feeling of the 60s with her first saga. This is a well written and intriguing novel and I look forward to the rest of the series Dee Williams
