Why read it?

1 author picked Saving Meghan as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is one of my top favorite contemporary medical suspense novels because of the strong family relationships, especially the parent-child bond, which automatically makes me care about the story.

I was drawn into this book right away because of the relatability of the characters and the family dynamics that evolve between mother, father, daughter (Meghan), and the challenge facing them all–Meghan’s medical illness. As a pediatric practitioner, I understood the medical jargon, including the diagnosis of Munchausen by proxy, a fascinating psychological diagnosis. The author does a good job of explaining what a non-medical reader may not understand.
