Joey Jennifer Linnane

Unlucky at birth, Joey Chapman was not so bright as his three sisters, but he was always the sun in Irma'simpoverished world. His mother taught him all he was able to learn, and his grandfather showed him the basics of farming on Ironbark Hill. Joey had one terror in his otherwise happy existence: regular beatings from Alex, his drunken stepfather. When Alex died, older Joey ably assumed the role of protector of his mother and sisters. He was well-loved by everyone - except jealous, vengeful bikie Rocco. Big Joe grew into an extraordinarily handsome man. He began to yearn for a different kind of love, but what woman would love a man who was intellectually impaired? Joey had come a long way since the days of his alarming fire-lighting habit and finally conquered it. Or did he?
