Anabel and Isabel Stenzel are identical twins with cystic fibrosis
from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their recently written memoir, "The
Power of Two: A Twin Triumph over Cystic Fibrosis" was released last
December by the University of Missouri Press. This coming-of-age
story depicts one biracial family's journey raising twins with CF who
ultimately both receive life saving lung transplants as adults. With
candor and humor, the twins poignantly share their symbiotic
relationship, their determination and discipline in the face of a
rigorous medical regimen, and the lessons gained from having CF. They
pay tribute to their CF community and their donor families.

People magazine said "the connectedness of twins shines through" in
this "grippingly honest" memoir. One CF teen said, "I read your book
& I loved it... I now have realized anything is possible in life even
if you do have CF. Nothing can stop you from living an ordinary life.
I now have faith that I can overcome this disease and enjoy life...
This is the best gift ever." One grandmother of a CF child
said, "Your book, the best I've ever read in my life, has greatly
lessened the dread I've been feeling for the futures of my
grandchildren." Frank Deford remarks that "The Power of Two"
is "always powerful and filled with life and spirit." Boomer Esiason
also says this is a '"book of hope and a must-read for any parent of
a CF child or any person living with CF."

The book is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and
Borders.com, or directly from the publisher, The University of
Missouri Press, at http://press.umsystem.edu

Next month, the twins will be traveling around the country to speak
about their story and promote "The Power of Two." If you have
friends or family who may be interested in hearing their story and
