comes from the fact that they arnt just brother and sister but twins with a very close relationship. The timecapsule ceremony plays a huge part in the story because it takes them back to when their lives were simple, easy and care free. That was before Adam got sick and their worlds turned up-side-down. The Time Capsule is remarkably written, the author Lurlene McDaniel wrote this book from the heart. Through the Chappel familys pain they realixe just how important family is. This book is one of a kind MUST READ. Show Less
