    The climax for Jacob Have I Loved comes during the period of the story when Caroline is delivering twin babies.  One is an easy birth but the second one isn't.  This brings back all of the angst that Caroline has had throughout her life.  This is a story of self discovery and longing to be loved.  The resolution is that Caroline saves the weaker twin.  In working so hard to save the weaker baby she is better able to understand her sister and what she went through.  Caroline learns to love herself and through this self love, loves others.  More specific answers can be found at the link listed below.
