When My Sister Was Cleopatra Moon

Cleo was everything her little sister Marcy wanted her to be: beautiful, alluring and fiercely independent. But when Cleo comes home from college, Marcy, an adolescent on the brink of becoming a young woman, realizes that her older sister is no longer the person she once idolized. Their summer together is a traumatic one, of emerging sexuality and then a sudden death. Years later the sisters are reunited when Cleo's husband dies in a freak accident. But being with her sister forces Marcy to confront the suspicions of her youth, including her fear that Cleo is still the destructive person she remembers.
