About

Cammy's only trouble in life is a cousin named Patty Ann who overshadows her in every way - until suddenly, Patty Ann is no longer around. Cammy has a happy life and a great family, except for one little problem: a cousin who thinks she's better than everyone else. It's true that Patty Ann is beautiful, talented, and bright, but to Cammy she's also vain, conceited, and mean-spirited. Sometimes Cammy wishes that Patty Ann would disappear, just vanish in a puff of smoke. But when the unthinkable happens and Patty Ann is lost forever, Cammy struggles to atone for her bad feelings toward someone so close.
