And Ruby's every effort tobefriend her twin sister, Gisselle -- especially since Gisselle's cripplingaccident -- is answered with bitterness and vicious backstabbing.

Meanwhile, Gisselle is on a mission to break every school rule,leaving Ruby to suffer the humiliating punishments. But Ruby doesn't lose hope-- until a terrible tragedy leaves her alone in a world that never reallywanted her.
