Idina Mentzel had an adoring fan long before she became famous for being the voice of Elsa in Frozen, Elphaba in Wicked, even before she was Maureen in Rent: her little sister, Cara. In this loving memoir, Cara Mentzel details her life in Idina's shadow. Though Idina became a Broadway megastar, Cara's tale of idolatry mixed with rivalry and jealousy resonates well with any younger sibling. From an early age, Idina could sing really sing and people took notice. Cara takes readers through her childhood with Idina attending college, starting a family, and beyond as she tries to find her own voice. Fans of Idina will be happy to see a more intimate and tender picture of her than ever before and will especially be moved by Cara's accounts of Broadway opening nights and awards ceremonies by her sister's side. Still, don't be fooled into thinking this is a sister's ode to her famous sibling; Cara has her own story, filled with struggles and triumphs that will resonate with any reader.--Brock, Emily Copyright 2017 Booklist
