More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Boots Adams celebrates his 60th birthday in style with an old-fashioned Cockney knees-up, even if Gemma, James and the rest of the younger people insist that the music has to be rock and roll. The new generation of the family are growing up quickly - Philip and Phoebe are spending a lot of time together, and Maureen has ambitions to become a model, having her picture taken for the newspapers as she hopes for fame and fortune. Meanwhile, there are changes on the way. A local company wants to take over Adams Fashions, and Boots and Sammy have difficult decisions to make. Rosie and Matt are thinking about selling the farm, but worry about Joe and Hortense, their loyal workers. While Felicity has resigned herself to never regaining her sight, Polly sees a familiar face that she can't place - a mysterious stranger who is being sheltered in Walworth. Anneliese encounters someone she never wished to see again, and turns to Boots for help.

As usual this book is a winner. One of the series of books about the Adams family. I have everyone of this series along with the rest of Mary Jane's books, I feel like I have grown up with the Adams family and can't wait for her next one. Be warned you won't get anything done once you start reading these books.
Thank you Mary Jane Staples for giving me so much pleasure.

Having read all the other books relating to the Adams Family and really enjoyed them. I found this one too repetitive on who is related to whom,and some what lacking on story content.
