Saving Meghan
by D.J. Palmer
Becky Gerard, mother of Meghan who is a 15, wants the best for her daughter, what mother wouldn't?
Becky is on a plane to go see her mother, Cora, who is dying of cancer when she gets a startling phone call from her husband, Carl, that their daughter is in the hospital again and they don't know what's wrong.
Becky makes a scene and is escorted off the plane to rush to her daughter's side. Doctor after doctor the question remains why is Meghan always sick? Finally they think they have found a doctor who may have the answer, a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease. Becky is all for getting the tests done to figure out if that is the case except it includes more needles and Meghan has developed a phobia to needless. However another doctor steps in and believes that Beckyis the issue and has munchausen syndrome by proxy. This is where things get ugly and twisted. Meghan is taken from her parents and kept in a psych ward. While her mother does everything in her power to try to ave Meghan her father continues to disengage.
This was definately an amazing family drama with a psychological thriller twists. Amazingly written, captivating novel that i read in a day. I would give it 4.5 🌟
