Helen grew up in a pit village in Tyneside in the post-war years with her gran aunties & uncles living nearby. She felt safe with them but they could not protect her from her neglectful mother & violent father. Behind closed doors she suffered years of abuse. Sometimes she talked to an imaginary sister the only one who understood her pain. Jenny was adopted at six weeks & grew up in Newcastle. An only child she knew she was loved & with the support of her parents she went on to become a golfing champion but still she felt that something was missing... Neither woman knew of the other's existence until in her fifties Jenny went looking for her birth family & found her sister Helen. Together they searched for the truth about Jenny's birth
- & uncovered a legacy of secrets that overturned everything Helen thought she knew about her family. Happily they also discovered that they were not just sisters they were twins. Inspirational & moving this is the story of two women brave enough to confront their past & strong enough to let love not bitterness define them.
