"Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated . . ." With her
grandmother's taunt, Louise knew that she, like the biblical Esau, was
the despised elder twin. Caroline, her selfish younger sister, was the
one everyone loved.
Growing up on a tiny Chesapeake Bay island in
the early 1940s, angry Louise reveals how Caroline robbed her of
everything: her hopes for schooling, her friends, her mother, even her
name. While everyone pampered Caroline, Wheeze (her sister's name for
her) began to learn the ways of the watermen and the secrets of the
island, especially of old Captain Wallace, who had mysteriously
returned after fifty years. The war unexpectedly gave this independent
girl a chance to fulfill her childish dream to work as a watermen
alongside her father. But the dream did not satisfy the woman she was
becoming. Alone and unsure, Louise began to fight her way to a place
where Caroline could not reach.
