Margo and Micko
Two siblings, born a year apart, stick together through the loss of their father, their mother's alcoholism, an orphanage and boarding schools.
That was in the 1950s, but Margo and Micko O'Byrne went on to lead highly successful lives.
The bond between them, which they credit with helping them survive some terrible years, is as strong as ever.
Margo has told their story in a book.
