Rhoades, Nina 1863-1940 creator Bickford, Nana French 1886-1959 text utu 2025 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats Nora''s twin sister by Nina Rhoades is a children''s novel written in the early 20th century. It follows Nora O’Neil, a bright, poor West Side girl, and Kathleen Crawford, her wealthy counterpart on Fifth Avenue—identical twins separated in infancy without knowing it. A chance encounter leads to recognition, secrecy, and a daring exchange that tests loyalty and identity. The story foregrounds class contrasts, a mother’s steadfast love, and a girl’s imagination and integrity. The opening of the novel shows Nora spinning stories for measles-stricken neighbor children and hinting at a “twin sister” who seems imaginary but isn’t. We learn Nora lives with her widowed mother, a hardworking reporter, who secretly watches a Fifth Avenue mansion because Kathleen, the adopted twin, lives there. On a Sunday, a deaf cook mistakes Nora for Kathleen and ushers her into the Crawford home; the girls meet, and Nora reveals the truth, binding them in an instant, tender allegiance. Kathleen—lonely despite her luxury—later visits Nora’s mother in the studio, and the three share a rapturous reunion; to prolong it, the twins swap places for a night, with Nora “playing” Kathleen at the mansion, navigating stern Sarah, kind Selma, and dinner service, while earlier school scenes spotlight Nora’s ethics as she refuses to cheat on a composition.
