Jacob Have I Loved
Overview & Summary
Sara Louise Bradshaw has spent her whole life on a small Chesapeake Bay island feeling overshadowed by her fragile, favored twin sister Caroline, whose talent and charm seem to win all the attention and opportunity. Katherine Paterson's Newbery Medal-winning novel follows Louise's long, painful journey toward resentment, self-understanding, and eventually a hard-won sense of her own worth outside her sister's shadow.
