"I have never looked into my sister's eyes.  I have never bathed alone.  I have never stood in the grass at night and raised by arms to a beguiling moon.  I've never used an airplane bathroom.  Or worn a hat.  Or been kissed like that.  I've never driven a car.  Or slept through the night.  Never a private talk.  Or solo walk.  I've never climbed a tree.  Or faded into a crowd.  So many things I've never done, but oh, how I've been loved.  And, if such things were to be, I'd live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially."

    This novel of conjoined craniopagus twins brings out the beauty in each girl's personality and the loving patience they have with each other's weaknesses.  I certainly didn't wish to experience their life, but I did wonder if I am somewhat poorer in spirit than they because of my capacity to hold others at arms-length.            Reviewed by Susan Richmond
