Julie Ryan McGue is an adult domestic adoptee and an identical twin. In her new memoir, Twice a Daughter, she tells the story about finding out who you are, where you come from, and making sense of it. At 48, Julie was sent for a breast biopsy, and for Julie and her twin sister, this event highlighted what they could not know about themselves due to their closed adoption. What followed was a five-year search to locate birth relatives who could provide family medical history, background, and genealogy. What began as a quest for information ends with the discovery of family, literally, right next door.
