Description

Helen Naylor's heart-wrenching true story reveals a shocking family secret that upended her life. Ten years ago, she discovered her mother had been faking debilitating illnesses for thirty years. The diaries Elinor kept for over fifty years offer a glimpse into her twisted mind and self-delusion, as well as disturbing revelations about Helen's childhood. The unexplained accidents and days spent alone as a child are exposed as a story of neglect. This book is a brave account of a daughter breaking free from the complex and toxic bond with her mother, uncovering a stolen childhood, mental illness, and the redemptive power of truth.
