Description: "Some sisters are good friends, some are not. Sometimes there is more hate in a family than there is love. Karin is beautiful and has lots of men friends, but she can be very unkind to her sister Marcia. Perhaps when they were small, there was love between them, but that was a long time ago.

Perhaps they steal from a shop, perhaps they get angry and hit someone, perhaps they kill ..." -- back cover.
