Publisher's Synopsis
Jake's Boy continues the story from 1936 to 1945 in post-war Britain and follows the trials and tribulation of Jacob's son, Patrick, who has returned from the war a decorated RAF airman who took part in the famous Dam Busters Raid (aka Operation Chastise).
With Jake's demise, the story picks up with Patrick, following his trials and tribulations in a much-changed post-war world. Patrick meets by chance Jake's daughter, Ruth, who unbeknownst to them is his half-sister. The two form a purely platonic long-distance alliance, but each can feel the pull of something stronger despite their widely differing social backgrounds.
