Epigraph

Dedication

For my mother

First words

When Rebecca Strand was five years old, she saved her money-- quarters from drying dished, a dollar bill for the one tooth she'd lost so far-- to buy a sister.

The moment Rebecca did learn she had a half sister she never knew existed -- a twenty-six-year-old half sister -- she was twirling (just one twirl, really) in a hand-me-down wedding gown and her beat-up Dansko clogs in her father's hospital room.

Quotations

She could just float along instead of creating the current.
