To look at one was to see the other. For family it was a constant guessing game. For strangers, the surprise was overwhelming. For the twins Oliva and Victoria Henderson, their bond was my stterious and marvelous-a secret realm only they inhabited. They were the beloved daughters of a man who never fully recovered from his wife's death bearing them in 1893. Shy, seroius Olivia had taken over the role of mother, managing not only theri plush estate, but her rebellious twin's flights of fancy. Free-spirited Victoria embraced the woman's suffrage movement and wanted to change the world. Then, in their 21st year Victoria's life was about to become a public scandla. Handpicked by the twin's father to save her reputation, Charles Dawson thought he could make an unwanted marraige work. But in an act of deception, the twins took an irrevocable step, sending one of them to the battlefields of France, the other into a marraige she longed for but could never have.
