I have never looked into my sisters eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to a beguiling moon. Ive never used an aeroplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that...So many things Ive never done but oh how Ive been loved. And if such things were to be Id live a thousand times as me to be loved so exponentially The girls Rose and Ruby Darlen were both joined at the head (craniopagus twins) in a rural farming community in 1974. Abandoned by their frightened teenage mother they are adopted by the eccentric nurse who attended their birth and her husband a gentle immigrant butcher. The sisters attempt to lead a normal life but cant help being extraordinary. Now almost thirty Rose and Ruby are on the verge of becoming the oldest living craniopagus twins in history. Rose has a passion for writing and The Girls is her version of life as a conjoined twin. Rose and Ruby are attached at the head but their struggles and triumphs remind us that connection is central to us all.
