One of Us: Conjoined Twins and the Future of Normal by Alice Domurat Dreger

4.0

This novel does well in educating readers in issues on what most of us think of as normal or abnormal. Too often we think of only one type of body as being fully functioning and acceptable. I like the awareness it raises that people born with conjoined siblings or intersex conditions, for that matter, can be perfectly happy with their bodies since they were born that way. Surgery is often seen as the only solution even when a fulfilling and "normal" life is possible without it. Dreger has a clear writing style and gives many stories about different twins throughout the years. A quick and educational read I would recommend to anyone.
