INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Boling, Katharine

January 1905

(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Pauline and her family work at the local cotton mill; Pauline's twin, Arlene, is designated homebody because of her malformed foot. Each twin, full of hate, thinks the other is "the favored one." In a running commentary that alternates between their two voices, we follow two days' events, through which each comes to appreciate the other. This vivid account will draw readers into the period.
