One mother. Two daughters. One favorite. One not. When Cassie Barclay is presented with an opportunity - or is it a curse - she jumps at the chance. She takes on a new life, her sister's life, and although at first, it holds appeal and promise, she soon realizes sometimes the fairy tale is tainted. Assuming the name of Tessa, Cassie moves into the life that was her sister's, and faces first one realization then another, one disappointment after another. Stepping into Connie's life does not automatically grant her all that Connie had or was. But it does deny all that she had and was as Cassie. As herself.
