The Twins Trilogy by Janet Muirhead Hill

The Twins Trilogy follows the heart-wrenching journey of twins Kendall and Kyleah, separated at age four and yearning to reunite by age eleven. In Kendall’s Storm, Kendall, a frightened and lonely boy, travels with his secretive father across multiple states, ultimately landing on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. Constantly uprooted, often leaving possessions behind, Kendall is left in the dark about his father’s reasons for their abrupt moves. When he rescues a bedraggled puppy he names Storm during a hailstorm, Kendall finds a loyal companion to ease his isolation in strange new places. In Kyleah’s Tree, Kyleah, Kendall’s sister, navigates life in a Kansas foster home after her mother’s death. Briefly taken in by her grandparents, who later move to a retirement home, Kyleah is handed over to the state. Distrustful of adults and haunted by questions about her father and brother, she becomes a loner. When an opportunity arises to run away with an older foster brother, Kyleah embarks on a perilous journey, facing harrowing adventures and learning profound lessons about the true meaning of family. In the thrilling conclusion, Kendall and Kyleah, the twins’ stories unfold in alternating chapters as their paths converge. Together, they confront new challenges, testing the strength of their bond and their resilience.
