Product Description:
Esau have I hated . . .
Sara Louise Bradshaw is sick and tired of her beautiful twin Caroline. Ever since they were born, Caroline has been the pretty one, the talented one, the better sister. Even now, Caroline seems to take everything: Louise's friends, their parents' love, her dreams for the future.
For once in her life, Louise wants to be the special one. But in order to do that, she must first figure out who she is . . . and find a way to make a place for herself outside her sister's shadow.

Along the way, things are revealed to her, against her will, that not everyone is sorted into the concrete concepts of good and evil.

THis book is full of hatred. I couldn't shake the feeling of anger for several days after reading this book. She never askes her sisters forgiveness. Nothing is really resolved. it is a waste of time.

Her characters all to familiar to most readers, especially those with syblings. ... Read More

An interesting read following the trials of a young girl and her struggle to find herself and her place in the world. This is a beautifully written coming of age story sure to instill hope and a little bit of faith in the young reader.

I am totally blown away by the thought of a 14-year-old girl being romantically attracted to and interested in a man old enough to be her grandfather. And all of this just "hit her" when she hugged him? Not very believable to me. Why would something like this be written for children?
