    About this ebook

    Jody and Katie. Identical twins but so different. They share the same blood, the same DNA, but not the same fingerprints, ambition, or attachment to family. Which turns out to be lethal in the end. In this short story, Katie's devotion to family along with her addiction issues prove to be an even worse problem for her sister.
