The Pride Of Park Street

When Jess Mollitt gains a place with the famous Burton Girls dance troupe, appearing on the West End stage, it seems
her dreams have finally come true. But then a family outing ends in tragedy, killing her mother and leaving her father a broken man. Jess is forced to give up the career she loves to look after her younger siblings and manage the newsagents her father is no longer capable of running.

Working in the shop is a far cry from the glamorous existence she has left behind and, unable to contemplate a life without dance, Jess searches for a way to bring a little of that joy back into her days. It's not long before she's running a hugely popular Saturday dance class for local children and this, combined with her blossoming friendship with neighbour Don Day, provides Jess with the saving grace she needs.

But when the brother Don hates arrives on the scene, it seems Jess's problems may be only beginning . . .
