Summary: For years, Rose Gold’s mother, Patty, convinced her whole community—Rose Gold included—that her daughter had a chronic illness that required extensive caregiving and financial support. The reality, however, was that Patty was poisoning her own child, and she was imprisoned for five years after she was caught and convicted. Now, upon Patty’s release, Rose Gold has decided to allow her mother to come live with her and her new baby for reasons unknown to anyone but Rose Gold herself. Based on the true story of Gypsy Rose, this book gives readers a look into the minds of mother and daughter, exploring their motivations and perceptions of themselves and each other.
