She marries a wealthy man, but soon realizes that he is not as wealthy as she thought. Desperate to maintain her luxurious lifestyle, she begins to engage in dishonest business practices.Anne, meanwhile, struggles to achieve her dream of becoming a doctor. She faces discrimination and sexism in a male-dominated field but refuses to give up. Eventually, she becomes a successful physician and finds love with a colleague.As the two cousins' lives unfold, they must confront the consequences of their choices and the true meaning of family and loyalty.Less Than Kin is a compelling story of ambition, betrayal, and redemption.
