Nell finds herself pregnant and marries Barry, not the father, for the sake of respectability.

She has twin girls, Jeanie and Meg, and has a blissful first year raising her daughters. But Barry takes an instant dislike to the girls.

Jeanie and Meg, twin black-eyed girls, are separated at the age of five, one to stay at home, in a working class family in Scarborough, one to be adopted from a children's home by an upper middle class academic family.

And thus their separate fortunes are set in motion, united only by the vaguest memory of being happy together.

Their search for each other continues throughout their lives...

Katie Hims's heartrending story of separated twins and their search for one another.
