Interesting story of a girl whose mother puts her through a lot of torture because she's suffering from Munchausen's by Proxy. It's scary how easily her mother continued to persecute her through time and how no-one really noticed that it was happening.

Interesting read, scary stuff, of interest to those who enjoy tales of childhood suffering.
