Dora and Elena are as different as two sisters can be. Dora's tall and theatrical; Elena is short and practical. "It was as if, growing up, Dora had occupied a certain space and developed a certain kind of personality," Elena says, "and I had taken what was left over. On a barometer, Dora was a storm on the horizon; I was the needle that always pointed to steady." But after Dora is admitted to the local hospital following a suicide attempt, Elena finds it increasingly difficult to remain the family's "steady Eddie." Author's Note. Resources.
