Here is a synopsis of our book:
Born in 1972 in California to Japanese and German immigrant parents, we are identical twins who recount our lifelong struggle to pursue normal lives with cystic fibrosis while grappling with the realization that we will die young. This coming-of-age story reveals our tumultuous battle against our bodies, our desire for independent identities and our gradual acceptance of being loveable despite being physically different. In the end, we discover that our deep-seated dependence on each other has allowed us to survive long enough to reap the benefits of miraculous lung transplants. In the “Power of Two,” we share a life shaped by cultural tradition, dedication from a family that would not give up, and inspiration from others who have shared in the plight of having cystic fibrosis. This memoir is rich in life lessons, depth and appreciation.
We hope this memoir will give hope to other families living with cystic fibrosis by showing that people with CF can live productive and happy lives.
