Plucking Heartstrings
Jenna Kirkland is twenty years old, and trying to make the most out of life. She's loving, sassy, and quick-witted. If ever you needed someone to cheer you up or listen to your woes, Jenna was your girl. All her friends would tell anyone who asked just how great of a person they think she is. Jenna's downfall is her illness; undiagnosed, even after years of hospital stays and painful tests. Every now and again, her entire body is wracked by pain so intense, all Jenna can do is lay in bed and suffer. This disability prevents her from being able to get a job, because she's crippled so frequently by pain. Jenna lives on a meager disability check, but she doesn't let that stop her from enjoying her good days to the fullest.
Leigh Fern is also twenty years old. Her life, however, is one of misery and abuse. Ever since her mother died, her father has abused her. Prior to her death, Leigh's mother used to fiercely protect her against her father's malice and proclivity to violence. Once that protection was gone, her life changed. Her days are spent locked in a room with bars on the window, and living in fear of the next time her father would drag her to the basement.
Separated at birth, Jenna and Leigh are twins. One girl was put up for adoption, the other kept. When they learn of each other's existence, will the girls be able to reunite? What else will they learn about themselves?
