Only a short time ago they had been strangers. Now she couldn't imagine not knowing Isabel, her guileless and fragile sister.

“The answer to the question ‘How many children do you have?’ and the one to the question ‘How many children are you raising?’ are not identical in all cases: some men are not taking care of their own children, some are knowingly or unknowingly raising other men’s children, and some do not even know that they each have a child, another child, or other children.”
