JESSE
DAMON'S LIFE HAS NOT BEEN EASY. AT THE AGE OF 3 HE LOST HIS MOTHER, HE
WAS IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM TILL HE TURNED 14 AND HIS FATHER WAS
RELEASED FROM PRISON. HIS FATHER WAS A DRUG ADDICTED AND COULD NOT BE
THE FATHER HE SHOULD HAVE. AT THE AGE OF 16 JESSE'S BROTHERS
FORCED HIM TO DO SOMETHING HE DID NOT WANT TO DO . . . . THEY INFORMED
HIM THAT HE WAS A KID AND WHAT ARE THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO YOU ???? THEY
WERE RUINING JESSE'S LIFE BEFORE HE HAD A CHANCE TO DO ANYTHING. THEY
LEFT HIM HOLDING THE "BAG" AND TAKING THE RAP FOR A MURDER. HE SPENT 19
YEARS IN PRISON WITH NO FAMILY TO VISIT AND GROWING UP BEHIND BARS.
AFTER
20 YEARS JESSE WAS PAROLED AND PUT UNDER HOUSE ARREST. JESSE WAS
LUCKY ENOUGH TO LAND A JOB AS A MACHINE OPERATOR AT QUALITY STEEL
FABRICATIONS. AT LEAST HE THOUGHT HE WAS LUCKY! THIS IS WHERE HE MEETS
MITCH THE FORK TRUCK DRIVER. MITCH TRIES TO START TROUBLE WITH JESSE
RIGHT AWAY. MITCH IS THE KIND OF PERSON THAT NO ONE WANTS TO MESS WITH
AND JESSE JUST WANTS TO KEEP HIS NOSE CLEAN SO HE GOES ABOUT HIS JOB AND
FORGETS THE INCIDENT. LATER IN THE EVENING MITCH WAS FOUND DEAD AND
JESSE IS BEING QUESTIONED. NOT A START JESSE WAS HOPING FOR. FROM HERE
JESSE'S LUCK JUST DWINDLES, HE FINDS HIMSELF IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS AT
THE WRONG TIME. HE HAS ONE DECTECTIVE THAT IS OUT TO PUT JESSE BACK
BEHIND BARS, HIS NAME IS BELKINS AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING TILL THIS TASK
IS DONE.
JESSE
MAKES MANY FRIENDS ALONG THE WAY. CHOICES GOOD OR BAD IS JUST IN
JESSE'S FAVOR. DO THEY FIND MITCH'S KILLER ? WAS JESSE INVOLVED ?? WILL
JESSE AND HIS FRIENDS FIND THE OUT THE TRUTH ??
I
REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK! I WAS CAUGHT UP INTO JESSE'S LIFE AND REALLY
FELT SORRY FOR THE POOR GUY ! IF IT WAS NOT FOR LUCK JESSE WOULD HAVE NO
LUCK AT ALL ! THIS ONE WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING AND GLUED TO YOU READ THE
LAST SENTENCE. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN READING MORE JESSE DAMON BOOKS!
IT WAS WELL WRITTEN AND WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CHARACTERS. I
FOUND MYSELF TEAR UP A FEW TIMES AND SMILE AT OTHERS ! VERY GOOD READ!
Yep. I agree, excellent book. And Jesse will gradually become a force to be reckoned with. Just about to start the second book in the series.
