A contemporary memoir shares memories and the musings about the influences of who we came to be. Imagine waking up and staring into eyes exactly like yours, seeing a mouth that smiles with the corner just a little crooked, connected to a body identical to yours from double-jointed thumbs to bony shoulders? This is only part of what being an identical twin was for me. Childhood summers in the 1950’s in an idyllic town of Miller Place on the North Shore of Long Island, NY offered days of swimming, climbing trees, and nights of cool breezes and reading on the screened-in porch. Enjoy summer between the pages of Thinking of Miller Place.
