One and the Same

Abigail Pogrebin, an identical twin, looks at the phenomenon of twinship. She investigates how identical pairs regard their doubleness and what experts are learning about how DNA impacts our sense of identity and shapes our lives. In One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I’ve Learned about Everyone’s Struggle to be Singular, Pogrebin combines science reporting and personal memoir and the revealing stories of other twins, such football stars Tiki and Ronde Barber, who admit their twinship comes before their marriages.
