Book description
Ever since Dot Baker lost her husband in the war she's tried to keep
his memory alive. But when John Kershaw turns up on her doorstep, she
can't blame her kids, Katy and Colin, for wanting another man about
the house. John's the boss of a local factory, and a kind and caring
man who can't seem to do enough for the Bakers and their friends and
neighbours. He defends Mary Campbell when she is attacked by her
violent husband; he encourages Colin and Katy in all that they do; and
he puts a smile on Dot's face that's been missing since her husband's
death. Everyone in the street can see they're meant to be together,
but the one person who's blind to John's charm is Dot herself. What's
it going to take to make her realise where her happiness lies...?
Joan Jonker was born and bred in Liverpool. She led a rich and varied

tirelessly for the charity-run organisation Victims of Violence which
she founded in 1976. Sadly, Joan died in 2006, but she is remembered
fondly by her family and friends and her multitude of fans.
