Paula Bernstein and Elyse Schein are identical twins who were separated at 6 months of age. After spending the first few months of their lives together with a foster mother they were adopted by different families and finally reunited in 2004, when they were 35 years old. The book, Identical Strangers, written by both twins in alternating paragraphs, describes how they found each other after Elyse contacted their adoption agency with a request about information about her biological mother.
