(4) YA Twins Crystal and Amber have very different personalities, but both long to graduate from high school and finally escape poverty. When one of them has a baby, the girls' hopes and plans shift to accommodate this new reality, and do so again when Crystal gets into college for automotive restoration. It's an unusual sister novel with an unnecessary, overly contrived mystery about the baby's parentage.
