Jessie Gray

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.
