  Julie did a beautiful job of telling her heartbreaking story. While I read I felt her pain and the desperate longing she had to be loved by a mother incapable of love. As I looked through the pictures in the middle it was shocking to know what she went through. She LOOKED like a healthy beautiful girl and you would never know about the constant termoil she was dealing with.This is one of the most touching true stories I have ever read. Only two others come to mind that touched me in a similar way 1) The Glass Castle : A Memior by Jeannette Walls and 2) A Child Called it by David Pelzer

  A heartbreaking, moving book about a woman who was a victim of Munchhausen's. I love how brutally truthful she was about her life. I hope writing it helped her cope.
