    About this ebook

    "Living Up to Billy" is an absorbing and touching story, written as letters from a girl named Nan Cassidy to her sister Kate who has been jailed for two years. Nan updates Kate about her life outside and repeatedly says that she wishes to see Kate soon. She also takes care of Kate's son Billy in the meantime. This work is a beautiful reflection of the emotional bond between the sisters and Nan's love for Kate.
