A young girl endures countless medical exams, invasive tests, and surgical procedures as a result of her mother's Munchausen by Proxy. She also details years of abuse at the hands of both of her parents. As a child, she thought this behavior was normal, but realizes as an adult that this is clearly not normal. A fast and scary read.
