SWEET, SWEET JAYNE - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

In 1971, in the hardscrabble mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, Jayne Ranney, fifteen and from a disbanded family, finds herself adrift after many setbacks: her father's accidental death, her brother's residence in the Billerica House of Correction, and her mother's abuse and neglect.

Hope of a stable future emerges when Jayne is hired as a runner for the city's preeminent bookmaker, Galen "the Greek" Stathakis, operating out of the Skillet Bar. With the Greek and his gang-Tao Mann, his bartender, and Jimmy Tennyson, returned from the war in Vietnam-she hopes she can finally find stability as she learns about trust and a different kind of family.

But when outside forces put her life in the crosshairs, and stakes rise, will Jayne find she is on her own once again?
