They each had ten fingers and ten toes, but were joined back to back at the base of the spine. Freaks, monsters--that's what they were called. Mary Hilton, Kate's employer and midwife, adopted Violet and Daisy and promptly began displaying the babies as Brighton's United Twins. Exhibitions at street fairs, carnivals, and wax museums across England and Scotland followed. At 8 years old, the girls came to the United States, eventually becoming the stars of sideshow, vaudeville, and burlesque circuits in the 1920s and 1930s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a story loaded with questions about identity and exploitation, Sarah Miller delivers a completely compelling, empathetic portrait of two sisters whose bonds were so sacred that nothing -- not even death-- would compel Violet and Daisy to break them.","brand":"Schwartz \u0026 Wade","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42827199709264,"sku":"9780593119730B","price":13.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780593119730-l.jpg?v=1785909224"},{"product_id":"everything-sad-is-untrue-a-true-story","title":"Everything Sad Is Untrue (a true story)","description":"\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Michael L.

Who believes it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A patchwork story is the shame of the refugee,\" Nayeri writes early in the novel. In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family's history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel's story of how they became refugees—starting with his mother's vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights in a hostile classroom, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. EVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE (a true story) is a tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard.\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\"A modern masterpiece.\"—\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Supple, sparkling and original.\"—\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Mesmerizing.\"—\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTODAY.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Levine Querido","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42928424190032,"sku":"9781646140008B","price":11.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781646140008-l.jpg?v=1789153120"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/collections\/ya-family.oembed","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
