Jane Dimmick is an avid reader who has been writing stories since she was a child. She graduated from the University of Birmingham in 1979 with an Honours degree in French, and at the age of sixty-eight, this is her first published book. Jane is a retired widow with two children and three grandchildren, who now spends her time volunteering at a local hospice, singing in a choir, and reading as many books as she can.
The Apple of My Eye by Jane Dimmick is an evocative and deeply human love story that unfolds with warmth, honesty, and emotional intensity. Beginning in 1980s England, it follows Kate Edwards, a young woman with dreams of travel and independence whose life changes when she meets Sam Lawson—a charming probation officer with a heart as big as his smile. Their romance blossoms quickly, leading to moments of passion, laughter, and heartbreak. Through the ups and downs of friendship, family expectations, and the unpredictable path of love, Kate learns that true devotion can bring both immense joy and quiet sorrow. Written with sensitivity and realism, The Apple of My Eye captures the fragile beauty of relationships and the small, defining choices that shape a lifetime.
