Her Name Was Charlie by Frank Jones

Her Name Was Charlie by Frank Jones

Young, 'fish out of water' underdog, Charlotte, transforms the lives of five people for the better, in this unpretentious, romantic comedy-drama.

When the beautiful, middle-class graduate starts a temporary, factory job, while battling her own demons, she faces hostility from the overbearing, inverted snob, Dot, her supervisor. But she also finds warmth and friendship from others, and, from Rick, a handsome co-worker, she finds much more than friendship.

With her caring, compassionate nature, Charlie proceeds to alter the course of five lives in ways that never would have happened, had she not been there. Set in the recent past, this adult, intricately woven story, gradually building to a roller coaster ride, is a moving portrayal of love, loss, friendship and forgiveness. Written in an unconventional style that is explicit and violent in parts, this page-turner is not for the faint-hearted.

Born in England, Frank Jones came to Canada in 1959 and worked as a journalist for The Winnipeg Tribune, The Toronto Telegram, and The Toronto Star. Jones worked at The Star for some thirty years, was Ottawa bureau chief, foreign correspondent, and columnist, winning a National Newspaper Award for his coverage of the 1973 Middle East War. He is the author of Trail of Blood, Master and Maid, White Collar Killers, Paid to Kill, Murderous Innocents, The Save Your Heart Wine Book, and, with Gordon Pape, Head Start. Jones also contributed a number of radio scripts to the CBC's Scales of Justice series hosted by famed lawyer Edward L. Greenspan.
