Troubling Issues In Steven Camden's Tape

In Ellen Hopkins’ Identical, twins Kaeleigh and Raeanne bring dark secrets to light. After the girls’ daddy, Raymond Gardella - a comely city judge - causes a car accident involving them and their mother, the family begins to fall apart at the seams. The girls’ mother soon after turns frigid, showing little to no emotion towards their daddy, and she eventually leaves them all. The loss of their mother, and their daddy’s loss of his wife, sends all them all into a downward spiral, which is just the start of the family dilemmas.
