April and Annabelle are sisters, and they are also best friends. Annabelle is significantly older than April. In this story, April is worried about losing her best friend when she gets engaged to be married.

I grew up with lots of books in my life. This was given to me when I was very young because I too had an older sister like April. And I went through the same things when she left and married. But I treasure this book about 15 years later with a melted heart
