Another Great Character From Catherine Cookson - By: Denise Hawkins, 03 Dec 2001
Bill is a self made man, with a rough exterior, but scratch the surface & there is a man with a heart of gold underneath.

He comes into the life of Fiona & her 3 children at a time when they are in need of a strong character, to depend on. Much to Fiona's mothers disgust, they inevitably falll in love.

Each of the characters in this omnibus have believeable personalities, & each one will make you laugh & cry, as you follow them through the tribulations of their lives.

Fiona's son makes a remarkable friend in Sammy Love, a child that reminds Bill of his rough beginnings, & is taken into their hearts, when tragicallly, the young boy needs a home & a family.

Disaster strikes for the family, when a teenage crush goes terribly wrong, leaving broken, hearts & friendships, in the lives of the Bailey Family & their friends.

The most moving part of the omnibus, is, when a new baby is born into the Bailey household, but alll is not what they had hoped for.

Overalll, another Cookson marvel, she has yet again managed to draw the reader into the web of family life, & alll of the joy & heart-ache that brings with it.

This book will have you both laughing & crying within the same page, a must read book, not just for Cookson fans, but an excellent choice for those reading her work for the first time.
