Dear Amazon: You have a review from Sarah Wrigley, who is one of the central characters of this book, written on February 9, 2004! Sarah is the little girl the Phillips named "Mindy" who was removed from the family's custody. Sarah, I have often wondered how you are and am delighted you wrote a review.

A Fascinating Read,
By
This review is from: Mother's Trial, A (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read and re-read this book from cover to cover, and still do not know if Priscilla Phillips is truly guilty. Nancy Wright's descriptions of Priscilla and her family & friends do not lead us to an inescapable conclusion. This is excellently written and crafted, and rolls along at a much faster pace than most novels that involve court cases. I have worn out my first copy (which eventually came to "live" in my car for times when I needed reading material - doctor's appointment, etc.) and have just purchased another copy. What has happened to Priscilla? From the author's detailed descriptions I found her to be a rather unlikeable but very real and alive person. Each of us knows someone like Priscilla (loud, attention-grabbing, my-way-or-the-highway) who we may not particularly like. But did this well-educated caring person commit these crimes? I am not convinced.

This review is from: Mother's Trial, A (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, I am not an idiot. I can read and understand a book. I do ER billing. This book should not be ordered unless you are really into reading technical results of labs and a sad and slightly boring story. Munchausen is a really interesting topic but this book just didn't do it for me. I am sorry for mom and her seemingly adorable little girls. I just found the book unreadable. No pics in my edition. I would have loved to see Sara Shimoda, MD. I felt like I was at work the entire time. The book was work. Not recommended. I think "Sickened" was a much better book on this strange subject.
