Nathan Bernard Yew and Irving Maurice Yew, born mere hours apart yet divided by the calendar, shared a bond that was anything but ordinary. Nathan, arriving on March 31st, took his place as the older brother, while Irving, his twin, made his entrance on April 1st-April Fools' Day, no less. Their mother, with a touch of foresight and humor, decided to avoid giving them similar-sounding names, knowing well that life would find its own way of making these two stand apart.
As they grew, so did the distance between their worlds. Nathan, the star athlete, was always seen sprinting across baseball diamonds, soaring for a basketball dunk, or charging down the football field under the glow of stadium lights. His presence was magnetic-coaches clamored for him, and crowds roared his name. Meanwhile, Irving found solace in the quiet battles of the mind. An honor roll student, his world was a realm of books, debates, and intellectual duels. He thrived on the debate team, where words were weapons and ideas collided with force.
Yet, despite their divergent paths, the bond between these two twins never faltered. Their differences only added layers to their relationship, and their story is just beginning. As the Yew brothers step into adulthood, they face choices that will test the limits of their sibling bond. And then, there's Iris Marie Yew, Irving’s wife, who had more influence on their futures than anyone could have guessed.
