Reader Julie writes in with a question about a long-forgotten book that she hopes the well-read Bitchery can help her with. Here are the details she can remember:
Twins, separated at birth (of course) One twin was raised with the birth family, the other was raised by someone else. The story is from the view of the twin raised outside of the family.
Some family drama-bomb drops, and the twin who has not been raised with her family must now go to Louisiana (or some other swampy state) to meet with her family.
She meets her twin sister, who is, of course, a vapid twat who cares nothing for the new twin and is just generally annoying.
There’s something about a family owned theatre in which the climax takes place. In the climax, the vapid twat is redeemed.
Sound familiar? Can anyone help her out?
I believe this is Woman without a Past by Phyllis A. Whitney,althought the setting is actually in the deep South-I believe Charleston. There is a theater though in which the climax of the story does take place.
Not sure, but I think I read it. No idea what it’s called. I’m Googling…

Woman without a past? It might be the one I read, but not the one you read....

Wow - and I thought I had read all the bad twin stories.
Here’s a community that’s set up to help people with exactly this problem: What was that book?
They had an answer for me within a few seconds when I accidentally left a book at the library last week and forgot the title and author.
I thought it might be one of the V.C. Andrews series ... Ruby was the first one.
It’s pretty sad when I can’t remember if I’ve read that book before because the plot sounds very familiar..
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it. To find out more, read all about us or check out our minty-fresh and funkadelic FAQ section.

THANKS, SBTB GALS!! Honestly, that was such an obvious answer to me that I kept scrolling through the other replies to see if someone else had said it! LOL!

As a sidepoint on the Harry Potter comparisan, they are oddly similar in their relationships, in the sense that at the end the relationships weren’t healthy. Potter’s was based on hero warship from Weasley, and you can almost say the…
I don’t see why it has to be either “bizarre” or “the future of the industry.” No more than that “cathy’s book” experiment was. It’s a fun experiment. I’m intrigued, but then again, I love those alternate reality games, and…
