This is the true story of a twin’s recovery from childhood trauma he never realised he suffered. Cain and his brother were thick as thieves. They were thieves. And arsonists, or whatever else they needed to be to survive their childhood of neglect, starvation, and beatings.
They were pranksters too. Cain recollects the ’80s in a positive light despite the terrible hardships. At the time, he thought the life he lived was normal.
His story is one of humour, wit, camaraderie, love and adventure. Above all, it’s an example of how working to overcome trauma can heal and break the cycle.
The twin bond helped Cain survive all these ordeals until it was severed. After, he was left with mental scars and a terror of death he could not conquer. He explores these issues with his psychologist, and at last confronts the truth of his past, the possibilities of his future and the one thing he wants most of all…
Just to be normal.
