About this listen
Her grandson was literally on the brink of death's door. From as early as one month old, he was gravely ill, with one illness after another. By the time he was three years old, he had been hospitalized more times than she could count. He would get better and then suddenly relapse with no reasonable explanation. When her granddaughter was born, she, too, started having alarming health problems. She had known that her daughter-in-law seemed to exaggerate but never could she have imagined this.
The children's mother was so cunning and crafty in her manipulative deception that she fooled dozens of medical professionals along the way. After three years of her grandson being constantly sick with countless hospitalizations, this grandmother was faced with the horrifying realization; that her grandchildren were sick because their mother was making them sick. Then the real fight began.
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is one of the cruelest forms of child abuse imaginable. It is very difficult to prove and even harder to prosecute. This story chronicles a woman's journey as she discovers that her two grandchildren are victims of this abuse that most people have never even heard of. Her faith in God kept her going as she turned their tragedies and trials into triumph. Follow her journey of faith as she fights to rescue, protect, and bring healing to her grandchildren's broken spirits and shattered little souls.

Wonderful, but a little problematic
The story of MBP is one close to my heart as someone who works in community and social services.
I have to admit, the story is beautiful, but incredibly biased, and there are many terms that are outdated and unprofessional and sad to use. Words matter, as the author knows.
We should always view everything through a trauma response and respect lens, as heart wrenching and angering as these situations are.

Interesting, maybe as a short story
I find it hard to believe that this Grandma can listen to a full grown woman calling her “Mama” in a baby voice even once without telling her to stop.
I know she owns up to naïveté. A lot of the rest of it are things we can all definitely fall for. I grew up with several close family members being chronic liars, and no matter what you confronted them with, they will always twist it to where they are correct and you are the idiot. This is where I can sympathize with dad and grandma.
That being said, the story was short and very repetitive. By chapter three I was ready to jump through the pages and throttle the mom, Grandmom AND especially the dad, marrying this woman that he knew had seen psychological issues.
Audible should have a star system for value and price of the books. I feel I overpaid for this one.
