Help a Bitch Out
by Candy | May 23, 2007 | Wednesday at 5:23 pm | 7 CommentsReader 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…

I’m searching on amazon and biblio.com…
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..
