Lizzie just wants Frances to have a complete and satisfying life, just like hers.<br /><br />Then one day Frances announces she isn't coming to Lizzie's for Christmas as usual - she's going to <strong>Spain</strong> instead.<br />Suddenly and equally unexpectedly, Lizzie's world begins to tilt. Frances's Christmas defection seems overwhelmingly threatening to their unity.<br /><br />As Frances's future begins to change into something exciting and Lizzie's deteriorates as financial pressures eat into her ideal lifestyle, long held assumptions are called into question.<br /><br /><strong>Which twin <em>really </em>is the one with everything?</strong></p>
