TRIGGER WARNING - THIS BOOK FEATURES SEXUAL ABUSE, INCEST, AND RAPE
Do twins begin in the womb?
Or in a better place?
Kaeleigh
and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple. As daughters of a
district-court judge father and a politician mother, they are an
all-American family -- on the surface. Behind the facade each sister has
her own dark secret, and that's where their differences begin.
For
Kaeleigh, she's the misplaced focus of Daddy's love, intended for a
mother whose presence on the campaign trail means absence at home. All
that Raeanne sees is Daddy playing a game of favorites -- and she is
losing. If she has to lose, she will do it on her own terms, so she
chooses drugs, alcohol, and sex.
Secrets like the ones the twins
are harboring are not meant to be kept -- from each other or anyone
else. Pretty soon it's obvious that neither sister can handle it alone,
and one sister must step up to save the other, but the question is --
who?" - taken from Goodreads
"Four decades of peace
have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the
kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend
court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to
universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws
near, however, tensions are high.
"A novel set mostly in
Afghanistan. The introverted and insecure afghan narrator, Amir, grows
up in Afghanistan in the closing years of the monarchy and the first
years of the short-lived republic. His best and most faithful friend,
Hassan, is the son of a servant. Amir feels he betrays Hassan by not
coming to his aid when Hassan is set on by bullies and furthermore
forces Hassan and his father Ali to leave his father´s service. Amir´s
relatively privileged life in Kabul comes to an end when the communist
regime comes to power and his extrovert father, Baba emigrates with him
to the U.S. There Amir meets his future afghan wife and marries her.
Amir´s father dies in the U.S. and Amir receives a letter from his
father´s most trusted business partner and, for a time, Amir´s surrogate
father, which makes Amir return, alone, to a Taliban-dominated
Afghanistan in search of the truth about himself and his family, and
finally, a sort of redemption." -taken from Goodreads
