    About this ebook

    Haley is the younger sister no one really wants to be. Her sister, Serena, is a selfish sneak who knows how to never get caught. While Serena has everyone (including their parents) eating out of the palm of her hand, Haley suffers in silence - until she receives a mirror that shows her everything she's ever tried to hide. What will happen when Serena comes to claim the mirror as her own, too?

    Mirror, Mirror is one of six stories in the Mirrors short story collection. Written for and originally posted on the Cat Pollock Writes blog, each story is a reflection on how different each of our lives are and how each person reacts to the circumstances around them in different ways.
