Two twin girls, abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage. Identical in appearance, yet one blessed with a beautiful voice, the other cursed with an unpleasant one. That single difference would come to shape their lives in vastly different ways. A bildungsroman that stares straight at those standing at the edge of despair!
