Summary

Jenny and Laura Nightingale are as different as chalk and cheese. Jenny’s pretty face and lively sense of humour make her everyone’s favourite girl, whereas Laura is mean and moody and she’s never out of trouble. Their mother, Mary, loves them both and frets about Laura’s behaviour, but soon that’s the least of her worries… Her father’s new young wife, Celia, is about to bring shame on the family by leading Laura astray. Jenny attracts the attention of two young lads in her street who both want to court her. Mick and John have been mates since they were kids but now war is declared, and it’s every man for himself! Meanwhile Laura’s resentment begins to build and it’s only a matter of time before things come to a head. Who will learn that a little tenderness goes a long way
