A unique and different book about a girl named Celeste. She lives with her mother and twin brother, Noble, until her brother dies. It's just Celeste and her mother but then her mother forces Celeste to dress and act like her brother as an attempt to keep her more favored child alive. ( )

First words
I can't exactly remember the first time we saw our mother stop whatever she was doing, look out at the darkness, smile, nod, and softly say something like, "I understand. Yes. Thank you," to no one we could see, buy every time she did it, I felt an eerie excitement, a pleasant chill like the quiver I might feel sliding down a hill on my sled or leaping off the rock to splash in our pond.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743428625, Mass Market Paperback)

He was her mirror image. Now the mirror has cracked.

Celeste and her twin brother, Noble, are as close as can be -- until a tragic accident takes Noble's life. It's a loss that pushes their mother, a woman obsessed with New Age superstitions, over the edge....

Desperate to keep her son "alive," Celeste's mother forces her to cut her hair, wear boys' clothes, and take on Noble's identity. Celeste has virtually disappeared -- until a handsome boy moves in next door, and Celeste will risk her mother's wrath to let herself come back to life.
