Jacob Have I Loved Katherine Paterson

Ever since they were born, talented Caroline has done nothing but take from her twin sister, Louise: their parents' love, Louise's hopes for an education, even her best and only friend. For once in her life, Louise wants to experience the kind of happiness that comes so easily to Caroline. But to do that, she must find a way to make a place for herself outside her sister's long shadow. Katherine Paterson's Newbery Medal-winning classic explores an unforgettable quest to break free.
