JACOB HAVE I LOVED
Santa Barbara : Cornerstone, 1990.
IL 5-8 RL 5.8
ISBN 0690040784
When twins are born, the younger might need more medical attention and the older gets left out. Louise felt that happen to her. While sister Caroline is taking piano lessons, Louise and McCall Purnell are earning money by catching crabs in the Chespeake Bay. Louis really gets confused when the old man, who has returned to the island after an absence of 50 years, seems to prefer Call and her sister to her, despite her trying so hard to be friendly with him. Her grandmother, a bit senile, rubs it in by quoting passages from the Bible that seem to condemn Louise and her ways. If you want to share Louise's struggle to find her place in her family, on her island and eventually in her own home, be sure to read "Jacob Have I Loved".
