The Mother Next Door

The book dives into complex and emotional issues like Munchausen by proxy. I'm curious how the author navigated these areas responsibly while keeping the narrative compelling.

The detailed medical and psychiatric explanations added authenticity but sometimes felt dense. Was that a deliberate choice to emphasize the stakes?

The subject is so unsettling and complex. I'm wondering what drew the author to this particular case or theme — was it based on real events or purely fictional?
