This story follows the lives of 16 year old twin sisters Hepzibah, the beautiful and outgoing sister, and Rebecca the disfigured and silent half, as they transition from homeschooling to going to high school, much to the displeasure of their strict, fundamentalist Christian parents.
The split-narrative writing style with Rebecca narrating the present and Hepzibah narrating the past, tells of how the girls struggle for freedom, and the aftermath of Rebecca dealing with the death of her sister.
The story deals with issues such as rape, child abuse, teenage pregnancy, love and death.
