I liked the story but hated the ending. I would have given it 5 stars if it had ended better. Two girls born n the same day with the same father and different mother's. After their father's death they met. Rachael had been raised in California. Her mother had passed away and after her father's death she moved to Texas where Abbie Lived. Their hate and resentment for each other went on for years, and consequences from that caused much heartache and mistakes in their lives.
