Some of my favorite scenes in\u00a0<em>Arrows\u00a0<\/em>are between the main character, Karma, and her younger sister, Leah.<\/p>\n<p>In this scene, the two of them are in Karma&#8217;s room after an argument.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But inside, I was glad she was there. No words needed, and nothing complicated. Just us sisters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a sister myself&#8211;one of five!&#8211;I know how true these feelings are, and how comforting\u00a0it is to be with someone who knows you as well as a sister does,\u00a0and always, always loves you anyway.<\/p>\n<p>(Cool note, that&#8217;s me and my youngest sister Laura in the photo, watching the sunset where we grew up.
