Emily and Elizabeth (identical twins) did not have the best upbringing. To say their mother was cruel would be putting it mildly. One day, Social Services finally stepped in and took the girls from the mother, placing them with the Rooths. A couple who solely wanted to love the girls and see them flourish. With the girls’ background, it is no wonder they had all the difficulties they did. The Rooths, though, stuck by them, taught them what they needed to know, raised them into adulthood. Emily was the more loving of the twins, Elizabeth was the standoffish one and who could blame her, really? Then something happens and Elizabeth finds herself waking up in a hospital, having to face her demons. The twist though … the twist is what we keep reading for, keep waiting for.
Ms. Berry, as a clinical psychologist, I am certain has run into such cases and brings that touch of realism to her writing. I cannot even begin to imagine some of the horrors some folks are faced with in real life. This one has a twist that I sure didn’t see coming … and it hits you so subtly.
