Sickened - Book Club

Anyone read it? It's by Julie Greggory and she tells about her childhood. Her mother had Munchhausen. Difficult to read at times as well but shows an interesting perspective into the world of a child suffering under Munchausen by Proxy

Thanks for the heads up on the book, I've got it on hold at the library now. Munchausen by proxy is an interesting and horrifying mental illness from what little I know about it.

Ugh - I don't think I could handle it.
Sybil was enough for me to struggle through.

If nothing else, this is certainly an appropriate bump.
