Description
Christa Parravani's memoir is a haunting and powerful account of love, identity, and survival. When her identical twin sister Cara dies tragically, Christa is left to struggle with the devastating consequences of their shared bond. Raised from poverty by a determined single mother, the twins had created a private haven of splendor and merriment before veering off different paths in life. One sister's descent into depression, drugs, and early death serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life. Christa's own fight for survival is both heart-wrenching and unforgettably beautiful. Beautifully written and richly detailed, this memoir is an informative and deeply moving exploration of what it means to be left behind, and to find a way to keep going in the face of unimaginable loss.
