Reality TV And Secret Weddings: The Remarkable Lives Of Conjoined Hensel Twins

Mastering Coordination

Despite addressing some health issues, the Hensel sisters had to choreograph their movements for every task they did together carefully. As teenagers, Abby’s slightly taller height meant she walked flat-footed, while Brittany had to tiptoe. The girls’ determination to crawl, walk, stand, and even run despite the difficulties is genuinely praiseworthy.
