There were moments when she wished she were an only child, that her mother had never blessed her with a baby sister. Not a sister like Glenna. "She's lovely! Look at those curls. Those blue eyes. She's just beautiful!" Berta was used to those comments. Whenever ladies came to the house or met her mother on the streets, everyone was always exclaiming over her little sister. Somewhere along the way, Berta gradually came to the conclusion that whatever Glenna was, she would not be. Whatever Glenna did, she would not do. Whatever Glenna liked, she would not like. She would be the opposite. And as the two girls grow up, that determination shapes their relationship. Glenna is sparkling, vivacious, outgoing, and adored. Berta is serious, dependable, prim, and always feels plain and ordinary - especially when she compares herself to her sister.
But the day will come when Berta must look into her heart and discover what truly makes the distance between them.
