Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and D.J. Palmer for the opportunity to read this medical thriller! I loved it and couldn't put it down - I kept changing my mind on who exactly was doing what to whom!
After a difficult childhood, Becky is a good mother to Meghan. However, when Meghan becomes very ill, Becky becomes obsessed with trying to find out what's wrong with her daughter. She takes her from doctor to doctor where they perform test after test and nothing can ever be diagnosed. When Meghan exhibits even worse symptoms, doctors at the hospital step in and accuse Becky of having Munchausen syndrome by proxy, and either causing Meghan's symptoms or causing Meghan to have psychological issues presenting in physical illness. Becky's husband, Carl, is tired of Becky's obsession as well and isn't sure the doctors aren't correct.
A great thrill ride of a book - highly recommended!
