Wishing and Hoping

by Mia Dolan

Life's been hard for Marcie Brooks, but when she marries Michael Jones things start to look up. Not only has he given her daughter, Joanna, his name but they now also have a son. The family's finances are on the up too, with Michael opening his first nightclub. However, when he refuses to do business with Paddy Rafferty, an Irish gangster, Michael soon finds himself on the wrong side of the law. He claims he's being framed for murder and Marcie wants to believe him but she has worries of her own. With her husband in prison, everyone seems to think she needs to sell the club and concentrate on raising her family. But a little voice seems to be telling Marcie she needs to fight for her children's future...and if that means standing up to intimidation, then so be it...

The final book in the trilogy of the life of Marcie Brooks and how she overcame adversity in her life and finally found happiness with Michael Jones.
I was hoping there would be a fourth book but Mia Dolan felt otherwise!

This book was very good read it is about a woman who has dreams and sometimes they come true she is a married woman and her husband owns some clubs and there is this other bloke who is trying to get them but the her husband won't sell it to him. The bloke who wants the club starts to make trouble with the guy wo won't sell the club so he gets done for murder and the police thinks he has done it. You must read to see what hppens and it's true what they say a mother would do anything for her kids.

Wishing and Hoping by Mia Dolan is a wonderful read and the third and final book in the Marcie Brooks saga. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys heartening stories set in the 60s.
