Jacob Have I Loved
by Katherine Paterson
Review this book!
Louise hates her sister. Everyone is dazzled by her lovely, talented, and delicate twin, while the dark, brooding Louise--who prefers rough outdoor work--struggles with her feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. Louise comes to accept her feelings when she is finally appreciated for herself, rather than compared to her sister. Winner of the 1981 Newbery Medal.

Media Reviews
"With wry humor, Sara Louise recalls her turbulent adolescence...Strength of characterization and memorable external and internal action mark this superbly crafted novel about a quest for self-knowledge."
Synopses
Sarah Louise, who lives with her family on a Chesapeake Bay island, grows up feeling less important than her twin sister, until she finally begins to find her own identity.
First Line
As soon as the snow melts I will go to Rass and fetch my mother. At Crisfield I'll board the ferry, climbing down into the cabin where the women always ride, but after forty minutes of sitting on the hard cabin bench, I'll stand up to peer out of the high forward windows, straining for the first sight of my island.
