"Final book in a series about a poor family living in the Bronx in the 1940's. Two sisters come to grips with their own envy, resentment and love for each other."--P. [4] of cover.

A young girl moves leaving all her friends behind and becomes friendly with the most popular girl in her class, but will the friendship last?

With this darkly ironic take on the classic Pygmalion tale, a National Book Award finalist (for "The Bears' House") offers a candid portrayal of what happens when the intoxicating thrill of control is confused with love.
