&lt;p&gt;I read the reader&amp;#39;s guide in the back of the book, apparently I should have gotten more out of the book than I did!&amp;nbsp; One thing I did get out of it was the use of&amp;nbsp;interesting love/hate relationships of siblings to help tell the story.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1003" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/books/archive/tags/reviews/default.aspx">reviews</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/books/archive/tags/fiction/default.aspx">fiction</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/books/archive/tags/Lorraine+Lopez/default.aspx">Lorraine Lopez</category><category domain="http://evpl.org/community/blogs/books/archive/tags/gifted+gabaldon+sisters/default.aspx">gifted gabaldon sisters</category></item></channel></rss>
