The Scully family gain a new stepmother and stepsister. From the
outset the stepsister is not accepted by the Scully children,
because they can see she is nothing like them in appearance or
personality. The Scullys are big, ugly and uncouth while Doreen is
pretty, petite, intelligent and refined. To the Scullys, her most
offensive trait, however, is her love of books, which she reads
constantly, and they see it as confirmation of her snobbery. Their
initial dislike of her turns into vicious hatred and they plot ways
to be rid of her, which even includes murder. Her mother and
stepfather realise there are problems, but not the true extent of
the hatred and persecution Doreen faces and believe things will
settle down and resolve themselves in time. Meanwhile Doreen
endures endless bullying and suffering at the hands of the hateful
Scully children, and daily the cruelty escalates, and continues
even into her adult life as a very successful business woman.
Eventually, when left with no other choice, the worm turns, which
results in a decisive and horrific final showdown.
