Darling Rose Gold by Stephanie Wrobel

A teen who has been poisoned and starved her whole life by her mother turns the tables and testifies against her in court, sending her mother to prison. It is a surprise then to learn that the same daughter turns up to pick her mother up from prison the day she is released. Rose has recovered from her rough childhood and agrees to let her mother stay with her and even help care for Rose's baby. No relationship is perfect and soon old memories along with the town's hatred of Patty make it difficult to imagine a happy ending. Old habits run deep and revenge may be what's for dinner so you, dear reader, must figure out the truth and if justice is to be served for dessert. Chapters flip between Rose and her mother keeping you on your toes. This debut deals with the very real issue of Munchausen Syndrome and works it into one heck of a twisted psychological thriller. This author will be on my radar.
