The Daughters of a Mother

by boice-Terrel Allen

When twin sisters Talulah and Cora are uprooted from New York City to a Pittsburgh suburb, because of their father's new job, the sixteen-year-old girls are less than pleased. Eager for some excitement, Cora convinces her sister to break their mother's curfew and sneak out to Owl's, a popular college hang-out. The twins pretend they are college students and meet two young men who will alter the course of their young lives. The Daughters of a Mother is at once the study of family and its influence. It is the story of the bond between two sisters, but it is also an exploration of how having a strict mother who never wanted children taints every decision of her daughters.
