Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Where was my brother, the one born seven years before me but kept by my birth parents? Was it really possible that, after the lifetime I'd spent wondering about him, he was the guy a friend had just seen on the subway - the one who supposedly looked like my older twin? Finding my brother would soon feel like a naive goal.

The most remarkable discoveries seem to come while looking for something else - as long as you're open to the possibilities.…
