Chapter One - Misery

Anna Gallagher is watching her world crumble from underneath her. Her father has been made unemployed, her family has been forced to move to the poorest part of town, and the future appears bleak even at the best of times. However, in the midst of this misery lies a single ray of hope for Anna - she has been recommended to attend the Liverpool Institute! This seminal moment paves the way for an incredible series of events that forms Anna's newfound optimistic attitude towards life and an urgency for living life as everyone should - on the edge! This extraordinary story began with a boy, and that boy would be Paul McCartney.

NOTE: Although I am trying hard to be historically accurate and checking my sources, some things might be slightly off, and I do apologise for that, but I think that for the most part, it's pretty accurate. Also, some things are deliberately altered/adapted for the sake of description, pathetic fallacy, etc, e.g. Liverpool Institute students actually did wear uniforms, but here, they don't, etc.
