Susan Dominus didn't stop at neurology when writing about two little girls conjoined at their skulls. She spent days with their family, soaking up their unusual lives, as she later told The Open Notebook: "It was important to make the family as human and real as they are, especially in a story that’s as sensitive as this. In the end I think it was a much better story for actually having some more insight into how this particular family works."
