As Ofelia loses weight through long, solitary walks, Norma senses the twin bond slipping away and leaves for a transfer college, forcing both to confront life as large-bodied women in a world that isn't kind to them. Ofelia's deliberate weight loss spirals into disordered eating and a near-tragic accident, pushing her to move out and leave their emotionally distant mother, Lyla, to fend for herself. Norma retreats into the solitude of the college pool after a traumatic experience she cannot share, deepening the rift between them. When the sisters finally reconnect, long-buried secrets surface, and Ofelia, shocked by what Norma has endured, vows to help her seek justice-- and perhaps revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonna Miscolta is an award-winning writer of three previous books of fiction as well as dozens of stories, essays, and book reviews.
