Sylvie the Second

Sylvie is the second child, always in the shadow to her fragile, tormented older sister, Cate. When Cate tries to commit suicide, again, Sylvie's essentially abandoned by her parents, and is forced to deal with many things a 15 year old shouldn't have to face.

I thought Sylvie's voice was a strong, very realistic one, not clouded by political correctness, or idealism. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
