Let’s discuss a great new book written by an identical twin.

AAMOM is considering devoting a small portion of some upcoming meetings to the discussion of a new book written by a former “60 Minutes” producer and identical twin called “One and the Same.”

It hits newsstands later this month, and it’ll be available on Amazon for $17.79 (a great discount).

AAMOM President Terri Huseman is volunteering to bulk order the books from Amazon for everyone interested, and we can reimburse her when the books come in. Please let her know if you’d like a copy.

We’ve got a good handful of club members interested already.’

Here’s a summary of  “One and the Same.”SUMMARY:

“One and the Same” takes an unvarnished look at what it’s really like to grow up as a twin. As twins club members know better than most, there are so many myths and gimmicks surrounding twinship but the reality of the relationship is much more intense and demanding than has been portrayed or than people realize. There has always been an insatiable curiosity about what it’s like to grow up as a double, especially since the explosion of twin births, which have left so many wondering about the best way to raise twins. “One and the Same” looks at every area of twinship, from competition to separation, from the shock of having twins to the searing loss of one. Pogrebin, whose twin, Robin Pogrebin writes for the New York Times, talks to twins who still live together, twins who have had their own kind of “divorce,” twins who measure every success by the other, twins who admit they prioritize each other above their spouses. There’s a revealing interview with star football twins, Tiki and Ronde Barber, and also with twin survivors of the infamous Nazi doctor, Dr. Josef Mengele. “One and the Same” offers a deeply intimate window into twinship from every angle - what it’s like to have them, raise them, lose one, and most of all, be one. But it also goes beyond twinship to look at the universal challenge of forging one’s own identity in the world. Pogrebin talks to virtually every living twins expert — scientists, psychologists, geneticists, artists — to get deep inside one of the most powerful intimacies that exists.
