Book excerpt: Our central character, Liam Parry, encounters who he believes is the first love of his life, whilst still in the 6th form at a Liverpool Secondary School. The object of his affections, Angela Hughes, is a visiting Student Teacher. She is not much older than Liam, but such a union is not possible under the circumstances and Angela is unaware of Liam's crush. Each goes their separate ways after the initial encounter. Angela leaves teaching and becomes a Freelance Journalist. Liam works in Mental Health Care for much of the story before his life changes, dramatically, career-wise. Liam takes you through a ?Roller Coaster? ride through life's ups and downs, before meeting Angela again, by chance. Perhaps fate had a hand in it. This second meeting kindles true romance. The book is laced with romance, humour and tragedy. Enjoy the ride.
