If you enjoy Fern Michaels, you'll like this book. It's the story of two sisters who, after their parents both die on the same day, an apparent heart attack [mother] and self-inflicted gunshot wound [father], are taken in by the father's best friend to raise. Only problem-- the older sister is spoiled, mean and a holy terror, taking her spite out on her younger sister who happens to have a large birthmark on her face, making her the butt of a lot of mistreatment. How the two girls grow up and find each other again after years of separation is the basis for most of the plot, along with a strong murder mystery and a little romance added in.
