They say that when one dies, another is born.

Emliy died the day her sister was born.
Jessica had to grow up knowing her day of celebration was a marked one, a day tinged with sadness. She’s always been told how much she’s like her oldest sister. That day made her the black sheep of the family, and Jessica hates it.
Sarah can hardly look at her little sister without having her heart break all over again. Emily was her best friend, the only one she could trust with her secrets. Jessica’s just a painfull reminder.
Peter can’t stand his family, they’re fine one moment, moody depressive the next. After his sister’s death, he tried to deal. He tried everything that was suggested to him by councelors, because nothing was offered to him by his family. After a while, he gave up caring, about everything.

When Jessica finds Emily’s diary, she learns from her sisters old ways, she learns to find joy in the simplest of things. But will this new knowledge help her? Or will it just hurt her family more.
