Synopsis
Note: These summaries are designed to help fans find their favorite stories and may contain spoilers!
Amy understands even as a small child that her relationship with her mother isn’t loving, nurturing or happy, like the ones she sees in storybooks. But when her half-sister is born, her mother casts Abbie as the flawless angel to Amy’s devil, and set the two up in competition for her love. The situation notches up even further when the family employs a cleaning lady who claims to be psychic, and announces that Abbie is the reincarnation of Anne Frank -- skewing the value of the two siblings in this Jewish family even more dramatically.Themes/Keywords: abusive, actor, actress, Anne Frank, child star, cleaner, cleaning lady, competitive, conditional love, dancer, Diary of Anne Frank, dysfunctional family, emotional abuse, Holocaust, house cleaner, Jewish, Live, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, mom, mother, Nazis, nurse, past life, prison, psychic, reincarnation, retrocognition, show business, sibling rivalry, singer, sister, stage mother, talent agent, triple threat, Yiddish
