Conjoined for Life: Four's a Crowd

Book excerpt: Sheila and Sally Peidamont were sisters. Twins. But they weren't like any twins that you've ever known. Besides each girl's ownership of her own head and face, the two shared everything else on their body. They shared two arms and two legs, two hands and two feet. They even shared a single heart. So whether they took a simple walk across the street or a trip to the bathroom, they did it together. They had no choice in the matter, and each was always polite. Until, that is, the blind Stephen Hobbs entered their lives. Sheila and Sally saved the blind Stephen as he stood in a crosswalk, confused and distressed, at their school, and when they did everything changed. The prospect of sharing their body became far more complicated in light of what would have to be shared for Stephen. What ended up happening was something that could easily drive normal sisters apart. But as was obvious to anyone looking, Sheila and Sally were anything but normal.
