Reviews

"...a book that is full of rich incident and extremely well written. I found it compulsive reading and had a job to put it down once I had started.

As I neared the final chapter I kept hoping the book would stretch magically for another 100 pages so it would not end"

"To go on an emotional journey read 'Jessica's Grandad'. The book is wonderfully written and deeply moving, it evokes many emotions. The story is funny at times, sad and captivating from the beginning. Robert MacGowan has experienced many trials, tribulations and heartache that a lot of people could not endure. I admire the man for his strength of character, which inspired him to write 'Jessica's Grandad' I... would love to read more about (him). I'm sure there's more to come!"
