Sam. An ordinary suburban teenager, her life mapped out by friendships, homework and hanging around the town on Saturdays. Experiments with fags, eyeliner and sweet cider. Listening to the Top 40 in the bath on Sunday nights, imagining what it would be like to be kissed. Properly.
Sam loves her twin sister, and their mother and father. A happy, secure world.
Except this is a story about adoption, not orthodox family life. It's about identity and stolen histories, not a gentle coming of age. It's about coincidence, obsession with blood, about good love versus bad. And, in the end, it's about forgiveness.
