Jackson Sharpe
Jack

"If you think I'm not going to 
fight for you, you're wrong."
-Jackson Sharpe
Jack is a young, handsome, wealthy fella who has no reverence for his elevated station.  Pip is very reluctant to admit to herself that his black hair, blue eyes, and
pomaded hair with a little tousle are attractive.   However, it may just be his lopsided grin that finds the chink in her heavy armor.

When she's just six years old, the boy with "an explosion of freckles across his nose and cheeks" becomes the object of pip's affection.

grow up to be big boys...

 Phin has spent most of his life  
on the hunt for a good time,  
regardless of what his family lost in the depression.  
Best pals with Pip's older brothers, Eddie and Max; this boy spent his teenage years  
stirring up mayhem with the Hale boys.  
But when he experiences real loss, 
it wakes him up to what he's been missing all along.
