Mia is positive her older sister is Dad’s favorite. When a gift reveals the painful reality of her circumstances, she also discovers things about herself she didn’t know were true.

"I took a long look at myself in the full-length mirror on the back of my bedroom door. Even in my favorite floral T-shirt and my best jeans, I still looked drab. I wasn’t pretty, not like Sophie. She got all the good looks from my parents, and at sixteen, she wears them really well.

She also got Dad’s laughter. He’s always pinching her cheeks and telling her, 'Sophie, you hang the stars in the sky and put the sparkle in my eye!' And then he laughs and she laughs, while I watch and wish Dad would rhyme something over me.



There was nothing I could do to make myself look like Sophie, so I closed my bedroom door and walked out to join her and Mom in the kitchen."
