I had earlier read "We Were Five", which the Dionnes had told to an author a few decades before this book. The biggest change was that now that their parents had died they revealed the sexual abuse at the hands of their father. When Annette told her priest how her father would molest her when he took her out for a drive, he advised her to wear a thicker coat.

The tale of the Dionne quintuplets is very sad. They seem to have fonder memories of when they were institutionalized than after they were returned to their parents at the age of 9. Every one around them used them for their own gain. Now there's no need to travel to "Quintland" to pay admission and peer at the children. We get it right from TLC.
