Jesse's Girl is a sweet story from yesteryear. Ms. Chaffin captures all the details of small town life in the 1960s, from the music playing on the radio to the fashions women wear, down to the attitudes and beliefs of the decade. Tim, raised on the wrong side of the tracks, finds himself in love with Dorothy from childhood. He never quite makes his move because the popular Jesse, his best friend, claims Dorothy for his own. A tragedy of Jesse's making changes the town of Skitter Lake, and Tim's life is ruined because he receives all the blame.Years later, Tim returns in order to clear his name and win the love of his heart. His uphill battle and Dorothy's growth into maturity make for a compelling read.
