In interesting read that will draw you into the fictional world of Ruby and Rose Darlen, the world's oldest surviving craniopagus twins. While providing details of everyday adjustments-to-the-norm that must be made when two people are forever joined at the head, it's the insight that's provided through the first person narrative that causes the reader to warm to the girls as individuals instead of curiosities. At its heart, it's a simple tale of relationships and of lives and loves that endure despite heart-wrenching circumstances.
