April had always felt like an outsider. Her older sister Brenda was tallk, athletic, competitive and sure of herself. But April Taylor was short, sensitive, and overweight-and she couldn't bounce back from their father's cutting criticisms the way Brenda did. April didn't know why their once-loveing father had become a coldhearted monster, but she was sure it had something to do with her. And she could see how his cruel behavior was tearing away at her gentle mother. But a glimmer of happiness returns when Brenda brings home her college roomate:beautiful, bewitching Celia. And April wonders if she might not be so different from Brenda after all.......
