It is natural for parents to take care of their child's health, monitor its condition and consult a doctor in case of illness. But sometimes a mother who assures doctors that her child is seriously ill and needs constant care, medication and procedures is not healthy herself. Olga Yarmolovich's mother had pronounced signs of delegated Munchausen syndrome, a rare condition in which parents intentionally cause their child's illnesses or make them up in order to seek medical help. Olga grew up and realized that her diagnoses were fictitious, tons of medications were unnecessary, and exams were crippling to her body and psyche. She wrote a frank and poignant story about her childhood, colored by the colors of hospital wards. This is not just the first book in Russia about delegated Munchausen syndrome, it is a story of survival, gaining maturity and freedom from an abusive parent and internal demons that are inherited.
