Twice the Family: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Sisterhood

內容簡介

內容簡介 Growing up as an adoptee and identical twin, Julie McGue will take you on her journey for identity and individuality, searching for answers through tragedy and adversity. "A heartfelt exploration of connection, community, and the unbreakable bond between sisters . . . Her journey beautifully reminds us of the strength we find within ourselves as we seek to uncover where we truly belong."-- Simone Knego, author of The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You In this coming-of-age memoir, set in Chicago's western suburbs between the 1960s and '80s, adopted twins Julie and Jenny provide their parents with an instant family. Their sisterly bond holds tight as the two strive for identity, individuality, and belonging. But as Julie's parents continue adding children to the family, some painful and tragic experiences test family values, parental relationships, and sibling bonds. Faced with these hurdles, Julie questions everything--who she is, how she fits in, her adoption circumstances, her faith, and her idea of family. But the life her parents have constructed is not one she wants for herself--and as she matures, she recognizes how the experiences that formed her have provided her a road map for the person and mother she wants to be.
