Dot's Legacy

When Dot Jacks inherited a ‘public’ park she began a career that was to change the lives of the people of Chip Notting, providing unintended entertainment for them, and a social legacy to both haunt and taunt her heir. Rhys gradually discovered his inheritance included decades of hostilities with the local Council, the dog Dot tried to sue, the dossers, the debts, and the wonderful community his Aunt had inspired.
The story of the first year of Park ownership by Rhys, and outspoken girlfriend Anne, is strewn with lively characters, all of whom have a part to play in the ups and downs of love, business and the Park Effect that was Dot’s true legacy.
