Same as Opposites

Allison tolerated nothing less than perfection. Together with her husband, Robert, she enjoyed their upscale neighborhood in a home three times the size their two daughters needed. Her interior design career was as successful as her husband’s CPA firm. Yes, God had richly blessed her. Except she hadn’t anticipated the cost. The energy it took to achieving, and maintaining, such a high level of perfection generated unhealthy coping mechanisms. And the need to keep that secret. Barbara, Allison’s twin sister, dreamed of being a stay-at-home mother. She married Tom with high expectations. Living in their tiny starter home was intended to be temporary. An investment until Tom’s career advanced. Had God exhausted His supply of blessings on her sister’s life? Tom’s promotion failed to materialize at the same time Barbara lost her job. Allison stepped in to save her twin, hoping this move would provide a lifeboat to her own life as well as her sister’s. The unintended consequences of that arrangement impacted both their lives in ways they never anticipated. Neither twin had predicted the lies, deception, and disappointments hidden within their marriages. Can the twins mend the cracks in their perfectly constructive lives? Or will the pains from their past, the realities of the present, and the web of lies they created, kill whatever hope either of them had?
