Great Ending

The story starts off mysteriously. We hear about an X-ray, a girl's experience in school, but we don't hear what made her different.
It's a moving story throughout and a great history and perspective on the freak show.
The ending sealed it for me, though, making it a powerful and universal story.
I scheduled it for my afternoon magazine and am considering running it again for our weekend magazine.
