Sickened: The True Story of a Lost Childhood
Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel is a deliciously diabolical tale of mothers, daughters and revenge. Of course that doesn’t mean that Rose Gold doesn’t have a few surprises in store for her mother or that her mother doesn’t have a few of her own surprises. After five years in prison for aggravated child abuse, “Poisonous Patty” is being released and who but her darling daughter Rose Gold is there to meet her. Despite a childhood spent being sickened and starved by her mother, years of having her head shaved and her teeth rot from malnutrition, endless doctors’ visits and unnecessary procedures, Rose Gold is ready to start over. Not every girl would forgive her mother for poisoning her, but Rose Gold is no ordinary girl. Julie Gregory starred in the film I Didn’t Think You Didn’t Know I Wasn’t Dead and My New Advisor by Columbus, Ohio, independent filmmaker Jim Bihari.Choose psychological suspense, a memoir or both! Either way you’ll get some seriously disturbed mothers whose daughters aren’t going take it any more. In addition, My Father's Keeper recounts allegations of physical and emotional abuse inflicted by Gregory's father. Only upon telling her work counselor, a professional bound to disclose allegations of abuse to authorities, was the abusive behavior of her parents finally realized by others. When Gregory finally realized what her mother was doing to her, she attempted to tell several people about the situation, but those she told either expressed disbelief or paid no attention. Also, in the book, Gregory mentions being told by her mother that matches were safe to eat. According to Gregory, her mother even became upset when one doctor would not perform open heart surgery on her daughter. At home, her mother fed Gregory a diet based on foods a doctor had said Gregory should not have, administered prescription medicine erratically, sometimes in double doses, and filled her days with strenuous physical labor.
