Book Reviews

This is a story about sisters Roo and Tilly. Roo is the older and talented sister who in the eyes of her younger sister and everyone else is perfect. Tilly is living in the shadow of her sister. Then Roo has a terrible accident that leaves her paralyzed and ends up with locked in syndrome, where the person is still mentally functioning but the body is not. Tilly is the only person who can help Roo.

This book explores the relationship of what it is to be a sister and the strong bond that it can have.
