Lora & Isabel: A Lone Novelle

About the Book

A novella about two sisters, Lora and Isabel, who live on opposite ends of the spectrum while living under the same roof. While they were once close friends, they are now living completely separate from one another and are hardly speaking at all. Lora, deemed the bad, troubled sister by her mother, is the over-analytical narrator of the story. She is plagued by thoughts of uncertainty and constant fear of the unknown. Once a misinterpreted girl in and out of psych wards and therapy, Lora is now a fairly mild-tempered loner who has lost trust in people because of her past. She was bullied and tormented by her peers while her sister, Isabel, beautiful and popular, was seemingly living a perfect life. Lora grew to resent her sister, feeling Isabel abandoned her during the most miserable time of her life. The narrative tale takes place during one single day; a day in which Lora decides she is somehow going to change her ways, quiet her restless mind and overpower her fears.
