Literature -- 4 stars
Lillian was a scholarship kid from the wrong side of the track; Madison was a trust fund kid. Thrown together as roommates, they became inseparable--until Madison's father made a deal with Lillian's mom. Years later, Madison is married to a U.S. Senator when she finds herself step-mom to twins. Lillian, stuck in a dead end job, agrees to help out. Only then does Madison reveal that the twins have a very unusual talent: they catch fire. ----- Calling this book "original" is an understatement. Mr. Wilson somehow manages to make the premise not only acceptable, but gentle and humorous. The twins combustibility is secondary to a tale of love and caring and, most edifying, pay back. A fairy tale for the real world.
