Pros:	page turner
Cons:	—

This is a story about identical twins separated at birth by the adoption agency (without knowledge of either family) and reunited at age 34. You might think, what else is there to tell? Well, read on because this one gets even more intense and suspenseful as the story unfolds. well written and compelling, the story draws you in to the very different lives of these two women. Hurray Paula and Elyse!

comments

So glad you liked the book, Deb.
It was an emotionally grueling journey, but the book has truly brought me and Elyse closer.
I think most people don't realize that it's not just a "feel good" book about our reunion, but, instead, it's more of a detective story -- Elyse and I teamed up to investigate why we were separated, the story of our biological mother and ultimately, what it is that makes us who we are.

By the way, the paperback comes out in October.
