(1) YA The "miracle" referred to in the title was the birth of the sisters in 1934, the first time quintuplets were known to survive. The "tragedy" is pretty much everything else about their story. As much exposé as biography, Miller's book is a propulsive account of what life was like for the girls, who served as both science experiment and tourist attraction. Miller avoids a sensationalizing tone, allowing the facts to speak for themselves. Bib., ind.
