This was an unusual story. I really had no idea what the book would be about when I received it. I know what proxy by Munchausen is. This is the story of Molly 12 years old who spent her last four years on this earth in and out of hospitals when she was home, she was sick. She would get worse and then have to return to the hospital. Her Mother seems to care very much for her, she takes care of her and seems to be by her side 24/7 when she is ill. Molly loves her Mom. Then Molly dies and wakes up in Limbo where her guardian makes her watch all of the things her Mother did to her to make her sicker, so that she could bask in the light of admiration from all the nurses, doctors, neighbors, teachers etc. She was evil incarnate and Molly has too watch it all before she can leave Limbo and go on to Heaven. Then she finds out that she is not the only victim in this plot and really struggles against acceptance of her fate, which she must do before she can move on. Really a creepy sort of book. That Mother did things I would never dream of doing. I don’t know how she even thought of those things. The book is riveting and you can’t put it down. Also, as it is being told, the story of Molly, by the guardian in Limbo showing her scenes from her life. Unreal, a must read!
