Through Both Eyes: Second Edition - Paperback

by Robert Henry Benson (Author)

You may think that identical means "identical" when it comes to identical twins, but that's not true. One of five monozygotic twin pairs do not share the same handedness, their fingerprints are never the same, and their personalities can be remarkably different.

This story is about identical twin boys, Austin and Bryan Gustafson, who came of age in hot, dry South Texas during the 1950s and 1960s. The lives of these increasingly competitive brothers deteriorate and fragment when a strikingly-beautiful teenage girl moves in next door, and both boys fall in love with her. Twin rivalry and spiraling mental illness fracture the boys' lives, families, and community. This tragically poignant account of competing twins and young love will keep you awake and turning pages.
