Splitting Image: The Liz and Laine Story

by Elizabeth Hubbard, Elaine Kelley

Elizabeth and Elaine—better known as Liz and Laine—are twins who share the same DNA but took different roads through life. Raised in Chicago as daughters of pastors, they grew up in pews and choir stand, armed with faith and family. But behind the polished Sunday smiles were real abusive relationships, divorce, loss, betrayal, and the kind of heartache that could have broken them for good.

Through it all, they leaned on the bond only twins can understand. The bond meant when one sister fell, the other was there to lift her up. In “Splitting Image” , they share their individual stories with honesty, humor, and wisdom, offering a rare twin perspective on love, loss, faith, and finding yourself again.

Part memoir, part love letter to Black womanhood, and part guide for the next generation, this book is for every woman who has ever had to start over, heal in public, or find strength when she thought she had none left.

You’ll chuckle, cry, and even see yourself in these pages. Most importantly, you’ll walk away knowing your story isn’t over yet, and you’re never as alone as you think.
