Plot Sisters Maggie and Rose Feller are very different, raised by their father, Michael and their stepmother Sydelle, after their mother, Caroline died in a car accident. The eldest Rose, an ostensibly plain and serious lawyer, is protective of Maggie despite her flaws. A free spirit, Maggie can't hold a steady job (partly due to her dyslexia) and turns to alcohol and men for emotional and financial support.
