Description

"Imagine one day opening Facebook and reading a message from a stranger that says, 'I think we might be twins--don't freak out.' It all began when design student Anaïs Bordier viewed a YouTube video and saw her own face staring back. After some research, Anaïs found that the Los Angeles actress Samantha Futerman was born in a South Korean port city called Busan on November 19, 1987--the exact same location and day that Anaïs was born. This propelled her to make contact via Facebook. One message later, both girls wondered: could they be twins?"--Amazon.com.

Booklist Review

Twenty-five-year-old French fashion student Anaïs Bordier was shocked when a friend sent her a YouTube video featuring a Los ­Angeles-based actress who was a dead ringer for her. Anaïs, who was adopted as an infant from South Korea, immediately began to research the girl in the video, Samantha Futerman, and learned that Samantha was adopted from the same city in South Korea and that the two shared the exact same birth date. Fairly certain that Sam was her twin sister, Anaïs reached out via Facebook and started to correspond with Sam. The two found they had much in common, and when they scheduled a Skype call, it was like looking into a mirror. Already certain they were twins, Anaïs and Sam decided to bring their families to London for their first meeting, travel to Seoul to learn more about the adoption process, and make a documentary, Twinsters, about their incredible story. Inspiring and winning, Sam and Anaïs' tale is a testament to the power of sisterhood as well as the way social media can positively affect lives.--Huntley, Kristine Copyright 2014 Booklist
