SEPARATED AT BIRTH, IDENTICAL TWINS ARE MYSTERIOUSLY DRAWN TOGETHER
Identical twins are abandoned at birth, separated and adopted by different parents. One, Ginny, born without a soul, grows up, desperate, frightened, and lacking a sense of self. The other, Carol, becomes an international celebrity renowned for her power and brilliance. At birth, her sister’s soul had mysteriously entered her body leaving her strangely empowered by two souls.
Guided by a mystic who unravels and interprets a strange dream that she has one night, Ginny finds her unknown sister and begins an extraordinary journey into a world filled with portents, love and hate. Elated by the discovery of her sister, Carol invites Ginny to spend the weekend with her family. Discovering that Carol and her husband, Wallace, live out a bizarre sexual relationship governed by humiliation and sadism, Ginny is shocked, but then is attracted to Wallace. During the long weekend Ginny gradually usurps Carol’s role as mother, wife and lover.
Carol, threatened with the loss of her life and home, strikes back, believing that Ginny is an intruder who must be destroyed. A series of events draws Ginny and Carol into a deadly confrontation that tears the sisters apart. Beset by powerful emotions they fall asleep and experience an overwhelming simultaneous dream that leads to an extraordinary interaction that transforms their lives and leads to an astonishing and life-changing revelation.
Dr. Berenson has a lifelong interest in creativity, mental imagery, sexual behavior, spirituality and holds a firm belief that no one should live life unfulfilled or hampered by inner or outer obstacles. He has devoted his life to helping many people overcome barriers, and thus freeing them to lead happy and meaningful lives.
In his psychiatric practice he watched as people grew and flourished. He is convinced that by knowing how to overcome negative mindsets people are capable of changing how they think and how they live. If they want to change, change is ahead. They only need to maintain motivation and learn the techniques and methods to pursue a new path.
His many books touch those areas that tend to stimulate individuals in their search for a meaningful and happy life. Among the subjects covered are: awakening creativity, love and sex, a special diet and exercise program, helping couples achieve intimacy, how to open a new world for retirees to make retirement work and ways to overcome severe emotional problems.
In his novels he alludes to themes such as reincarnation, virtual reality, living without a soul, the dangers of global warming and worldwide pollution and how dreams reveal insights and memories that help solve a complex murder mystery.
Dr. Berenson is Clinical Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the USC Keck School of Medicine and has been a Training and Supervising Analyst with the Los Angeles Society and Institute of Psychoanalysis. He is a member of the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychoanalytic Association, the International Psychoanalytic Association, and the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Medical Society.
He lives with his wife, Irene, in Palos Verdes Estates, California. Together they share the love and friendship of six children and eleven grandchildren. Among his many interests are writing, painting, sculpting, composing, gardening, hiking, reading, movies, playing the synthesizer and drums and play-acting.
