Life's been hard for Marcie Brooks, but when she marries Michael Jones things start to look up. However, when he refuses to do business with Paddy Rafferty, an Irish gangster, Michael soon finds himself on the wrong side of the law.
Growing up in a small seaside town, Marcie Brooks dreams of owning a Mary Quant mini-skirt, the Beatles, and escape. Instead she's stuck in a dead-end job selling candy floss to tourists and with a crazy family. Her grandmother sees ghosts, her step-mother is unable to control her growing family and Marcie's father is usually in and out of prison or away 'working' for East End gangsters. Despite it all, Marcie adores her father, but Tony's light fingers and hard man reputation mean most people give the Brooks family a wide birth. Sometimes Marcie even wishes she had a respectable dad like her friend Rita; well-groomed, wealthy by local standards and surprisingly attentive to a teenage girl. But when she discovers Tony may have had something to do with her real mother's death, Marcie finds her friend's father is more than just a shoulder to cry on. Mia Dolan's novels will appeal to all saga readers, especially fans of Katie Flynn.
But for all her grandmother's insistence that she's a young widow, the truth is the only boy Marcie has ever loved tragically died before he could make good his promise to wed her. But it doesn't take Marcie long to discover that her new Sicilian bosses have other business interests besides fashion...
In the follow up to the Sunday Times bestseller, The Gift, we are taken on a journey further into the psychic world of Mia Dolan, one of Britain's most gifted psychics. Mia's World is an amazing psychic adventure which reveals the truth about the spirit world.
"This is the life story of psychic and clairvoyant, Mia Dolan, one of the UK's most eminent psychics. An ordinary woman brought up in a working-class family, she was raped at the age of 12 and this terrible experience marked the first of her out-of-body experiences. At the age of 22 her spirit guide began to talk to her and showed her how to use her clairvoyance as well as providing insights into the nature of the afterlife. In addition to the psychic events that unfold, the book describes Mia's most unusual and intriguing readings: predictions she made for The Sun and The Daily Mirror about Princess Diana and her experiences at the scenes of the deaths of Jill Dando and Rachel Nickell for The Daily Mail . The book recounts her activities as a ghostbuster and exorcist, and includes stories of a haunted inn, the Drury Lane Theatre in London, a haunted theme park, and sightings of earth-bound spirits - both good and bad." --Publisher.
