Adopted from South Korea as an infant, Sam grew up in New Jersey with her parents and two brothers. She never imagined she had a sister; nor did Anais-who grew up in France and was also adopted from South Korea-until she saw an actress with a face identical to her own in a YouTube video and decided to contact her doppelg nger via social media.

Adopted from South Korea as an infant, Sam grew up in New Jersey with her parents and two brothers. She never imagined she had a sister; nor did Anais-who grew up in France and was also adopted from South Korea-until she saw an actress with a face identical to her own in a YouTube video and decided to contact her doppelg nger via social media. A few dubious exchanges turned from mistrust and cynicism to utter shock, as the women discovered more in common than just their looks-and their birth date.

Samantha and Anais's ensuing adventure is a dive into the fascinating research on identical twins, particularly those who have been separated since birth; a reexamination of nature vs. nurture; a guide through the often befuddling territory of foreign adoption; and an emotional soul-search for two inextricably connected set of parents and children.

Their discovery can only be described as the unimaginable journey of a lifetime-one that spans languages, continents, cultures, and ultimately proves that none of these barriers can disrupt the unbreakable bond between sisters.
