A gift of love, a promise that reaches beyond the grave. 'A Song For Joey' is an emotional, nostalgic saga of love and hate, played against the background of Britain as it emerges from World War Two. Meet Paolo and Rita, reluctant parents, and Rita's mother, Gladys, who picks up the pieces. Then get to know Belinda - a girl with a gift - and Joey, the boy she met when all seemed lost. When Belinda is made homeless, Joey teaches her to survive on the streets. But Joey has an illness, and after he dies, she makes a solemn promise at his graveside to one day give him what is then beyond her reach. With Joey watching over her, Belinda overcomes heartache and dreadful abuse in her quest to become a successful pop singer and to keep her promise to Joey. On the way, she learns that love has many forms; she meets Connor, a gay man who becomes her best friend, and Oliver, her lover. But her past catches up with her, and a man she thought she had escaped threatens to exact his revenge in a terrible and brutal way. Warning: This book contains explicit descriptions of sex, drug-taking, some violence and mild swearing.
