Publisher's Summary
Saving Meghan is a riveting new thriller full of secrets and lies from author D.J. Palmer.
Can you love someone to death?
Some would say Becky Gerard is a devoted mother and would do anything for her only child. Others, including her husband, Carl, claim she's obsessed and can't stop the vicious circle of finding a cure at her daughter's expense.
Fifteen-year-old Meghan has been in and out of hospitals with a plague of unexplained illnesses. But when the ailments take a sharp turn, clashing medical opinions begin to raise questions about the puzzling nature of Meghan’s illness. Doctors suspect Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a rare behavioral disorder where the primary caretaker seeks medical help for made-up symptoms of a child. Is this what's going on? Or is there something even more sinister at hand?
As the Gerards grow more and more suspicious of each other and their medical team, Becky must race against time to prove her daughter has a deadly disease. But first, she must confront her darkest fears and family secrets that threaten to not only upend her once-ordered life...but to destroy it.
Praise for Saving Meghan:
"Plenty of twists...will keep you turning the pages as you guess...and guess again." (Lisa Scottoline, New York Times best-selling author of After Anna)
"An acute, sensitive portrayal of family love under extreme stress...[with] a touch of Hitchcock." (William Landay, New York Times best-selling author of Defending Jacob)
"Smart and taut.... Moves at a lightning pace." (Alafair Burke, New York Times best-selling author of The Wife)
What the critics say
“DJ Palmer captivates readers with the fine line between a mother on a mission and a mother who’s gone way too far. With a young girl’s life hanging in the balance, the stakes couldn’t be higher in this pulse-pounding winner of a thriller.” (Lisa Gardner, number one New York Times best-selling author)
“Mother doesn’t always know best in this thrill ride of a novel. Palmer expertly weaves together a story of family skeletons, a teenage girl’s medical crisis - and the mother of all questions at the crux of it - what’s real and what’s imagined? Gripping and twisted.” (Karin Slaughter, number-one New York Times best-selling author)
