Jesse's Girl

Tim O€Malley returns to his home town of Skitter Lake, Ohio, to clear his name and get the girl: Dorothy Whitaker, the love of his life since eighth grade. Blamed for a destructive fire he didn€t set, only Tim and Dorothy know the truth; that Jesse Prescott, Tim€s best friend and Dorothy€s boyfriend, did the deed that changed an entire town. But Jesse died in that tragedy and seven years later, Skitter Lake still honors him as a hero, rather than Tim, the boy from the seedy side of town whose father was a drunk . . . and whose quick actions saved six people from perishing in that horrendous fire.

In trying to set the record straight and finally claim Dorothy as his own, Tim€"and Dorothy, too€"will discover that in some small towns the legend often outweighs the truth . . . and their family and friends will forever see Dorothy as €œJesse€s girl.€
