Jamie’s chaotic and violent life continues when she is kidnapped and held at gunpoint. Unexpectedly, she gets a job in a pub in Stratford then works for an escort agency. But, before long, she returns to work on the streets of Coventry to fund her habit.
Most of Jamie’s drug dealer and Yardie friends have been deported or are in prison. Jamie and her friend are sent to prison for a stabbing, even though Jamie protests her innocence. She seldom sees Max and constantly lets him down.
After a long stay in foster care, Jamie’s two children are eventually adopted by a lovely couple and settle happily into their new home. Meanwhile, Angela and Max maintain contact with the children.
Angela purchases a holiday chalet on Dunster Beach in Minehead – a place of tranquillity and calm for her and Max to escape to - away from the Jamie and the stress she causes.
In this, The New Millennium, Angela receives a number of awards, including one from Prime Minister, Tony Blair, for ‘Building A Learning Community’ - for her work with families and the ‘Crackhead’ book.
