Jacob Have I Loved is by Katherine Paterson. It is a historical fiction story of twin sisters, one who seems perfect and the other. Sara Louise is jealous of her sister Caroline and it colors every aspect of her life. This story set during the lean WWII years is an excellent story about jealousy, patience, and self discovery. Sara's mother's patience with her increasingly senile mother-in-law is a study in selflessness and true character. While some may find the pacing slow, this book is well worth reading.
Ratings: 8th grade - 8 out of 10.
