Background: 

Esther’s parents only wanted one child. Ten years after Grace was born, Mrs McAdams discovered that she was pregnant, unexpectedly, for the second time. Although not part of their life plan, the McAdams’ saw their second daughter as a gift from God. 

The oldest daughter, Grace, was intelligent and found everything academic a breeze. She was a part of student council, aced all her exams and sped her way through medical school. Now, at 30, she’s a successful doctor, and lives in a fancy neighbourhood with her surgeon husband. Esther, on the other hand, always struggled with the academic side of school and hated studying. Esther’s talents laid in the creative arts and she excelled in music and art. Somehow, she managed to scrabble her way through school with reasonable grades, but college and work was not something on the cards for her. As soon as she left school, to her parents dismay, Esther packed up her van with her guitar and her paints and hit the road, to enjoy the life of sin that her parents worried she was living. 

Travelling the country, Esther made some big bucks selling her paintings at galleries and craft fairs. When times were hard and sales were slower, she busked and drew caricatures for tourists. She paid her own way - and never had to ask her parents for help - until now.
