It is 1995, Scotland. The prison of Cornton Vale. Laura Brannigan is in jail for a murder she claims she didn't commit. For two years she's been battling for justice - insisting the police made a terrible mistake; pleading that she didn't kill her best friend, Jackie. With her spirits at their lowest ebb, she's resigned to her miserable fate - until, out of the blue, a letter is delivered to the prison. At the sight of the letter's handwriting, Laura's heart lurches - taking her back to a different, happier time and memory of an old love...1972 was the year Laura met Stuart and experienced her first summer of love.It was a heady time as she'd only recently been able to stop running. For Laura had always been a survivor: leaving an abusive home at fifteen and then life on her own - until she met Jackie. She and Jackie became best friends, swore they'd be sisters for ever. So what went wrong in the intervening years? And why is Stuart writing to Laura now? Does he have faith in her innocence? And can he help free Laura from prison - and her past?
at the start of this book it took me while to get into. once i did i read at every opportunity. it is a fairly big book so and you get so absorbed into the plot and the characters. Im a huge fan of lesley pearse. i think she is a fascinating woman and had the pleasure of meeting her about five years ago at my first readers day.thanks Sarah. we had a great little chat and she asked was i college and at the time i was only doing my leaving. i was telling her that i wanted to be a nurse!! any how this book does not disappoint i cried and i laughed. the good thing about lesley pearse s books are they are so mant twists in the book. you just cant see them coming. Has any one read this one???
