The Twin Adventure Series
The Twin Adventure Series is a heartwarming collection of stories about growing up—facing challenges, loving and laughing, learning and sometimes fighting, and gradually discovering the world and one’s place in it.
Inspired by the author’s own childhood growing up in the 1950s with her identical twin sister, Cathleen draws from real-life, everyday moments that shaped who she became. These are not stories of grand events, but of small experiences—family life, friendships, change, curiosity, and resilience—that quietly build character over time.
Each chapter stands on its own and concludes with a gentle “Moral of the Story,” inviting reflection without preaching. Written at approximately a third-grade reading level, the books are ideal for cozy parent–child bedtime reading, independent young readers, or classroom discussions.
These stories ask an important question: Which memories stay with us? Which moments shape our character and help make us who we are?

Book 3: Love, Learn, Fight, and Laugh
Growing up means learning how to get along—especially with a twin. This book follows the sisters through everyday ups and downs, from playful disagreements to shared joys that strengthen their bond.
