Author: Paterson, Katherine

Title: Jacob Have I Loved

Plot Summary: Rivalry between twin sisters, one who accepted and popular, Caroline, and Wheeze or Louise, the sister pushed aside. While Caroline is well paid attention to and Louise hurts deep down inside and dreams about life on the water.

Review: Peterson is rather unclear in the begining of this novel, yet she does make you want to see how Louise handles and deals with her "younger" sister. It has a rather depressing plot of a girl deprived of love. While everyone fusses Caroline's "talents" a deep hate grows inside of Louise for her sister who took "everything" from her.

Reader Alert:This story takes place on the island Rass, a small island in the Chesapeake Bay.
