Bad Boy Jack - Softcover

Josephine Cox was born in a cotton-mill house in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons. When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. Her strong, gritty stories are taken from the tapestry of life.

Unable to cope with raising his children alone, Robert Sullivan abandons them to others; changes his mind; but is then involved in a horrific accident. So Jack and Nancy are placed in a brutally run home. Later they are split up whilst Robert's only love Mary is forced to marry someone else and Robert despairs of ever seeing her and his children again.
