Family Secrets
Presents the sad, behind-the-scenes story of the Dionne quintuplets, bringing to light their struggle with social isolation, parental physical and sexual abuse, and their efforts toward recovery.
The Miracle & Tragedy of the Dionne Quintuplets
In this riveting, beyond-belief true story from the author of The Borden Murders, meet the five children who captivated the entire world. When the Dionne Quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, weighing a grand total of just over 13 pounds, no one expected them to live so much as an hour. Overnight, Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie Dionne mesmerized the globe, defying medical history with every breath they took. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family--and then, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years. The Dionne Quintuplets became a more popular attraction than Niagara Falls, ogled through one-way screens by sightseers as they splashed in their wading pool at the center of a tourist hotspot known as Quintland. Here, Sarah Miller reconstructs their unprecedented upbringing with fresh depth and subtlety, bringing to new light their resilience and the indelible bond of their unique sisterhood.

Les secrets de famille des sœurs Dionne
Elles furent longtemps la seconde attraction touristique du Canada, après les chutes du Niagara. Leur nom fut, un temps, aussi célèbre que ceux de Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple ou Judy Garland, ces enfants-stars des années quarante. On forgea même un mot nouveau pour les désigner : celui de « quintuplées ». Les sœurs Dionne furent, en effet, les cinq premières jumelles « homozygotes » de l’histoire à survivre plus de quelques jours. Les neuf premières années de leur vie ont inspiré un téléfilm à succès, diffusé récemment par France 2. Annette, Cécile et Yvonne, les trois survivantes, se sont décidées à raconter la suite de leur histoire. Après avoir surmonté bien des hésitations, bien des résistances. Car ce qu’elles ont à dire, n’a rien à voir avec le conte de fées que l’on pourrait imaginer en contemplant leurs photos. Bien au contraire... Publié en 1995 au Québec, ce document exceptionnel, déjà traduit en douze langues, ne manquera pas de fasciner ces millions de téléspectateurs qui, après avoir suivi avec passion Cinq bébés à la une, se sont certainement demandé : que sont-elles devenues ?
