Original Twin
Paula Gleeson.
A Thriller.
Twin sisters May and June couldn’t be more different. May is quiet, self-conscious, withdrawn; June is boisterous, beautiful, magnetic and missing.
It’s been a year since June disappeared, a year of May waiting for her to turn up with an explanation of where she’s been and why she left. But with the discovery of an old newspaper article comes a secret: there mother once vanished, too, on he same date when she was nineteen years old.
Just like June.
This was no coincidence.. June was investigating this buried family mystery, and she left May a series of clues to pick up where she left off. Now, if May wants to find June, she will have to retrace her footsteps through their mother’s past.
