Set in 1968, Watching Jimmy is a brilliant portrait of the post-war era featuring a family of strong women and a resourceful heroine who exudes character, resilience and love. In this gripping novel, Carolyn relates what really happened to her best friend, Jimmy, when his uncle chose the perfect time to teach him a lesson he would never forget. The truth is Jimmy didn't fall from a swing like his Uncle Ted claims. Carolyn knows - she saw everything. Will she keep this dreadful secret locked away, or will she find the courage to speak out, using the truth as her only weapon?
