Synopsis
When Josh Goldin's infant son starts coming down with mysterious illnesses, Dr. Darlene Stokes suspects that Josh's wife, Dori, might have the mental illness Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, and is compulsively harming her own child. As Child Protective Services swoops in to claim the child, Josh goes to war for his family and to protect his happy and successful Long Island life--but slowly he is forced to face the deeper problems at the roots of his existence. Darin Strauss, author of the award-winning CHANG AND ENG, uses the chaotic situation as ripe material for incisive satire, skewering race, politics, health, and the media in this thought-provoking, wonderfully readable, and darkly comic tale.

Publisher's Note
The lives of a family and a doctor are irrevocably changed and intertwined by a possible case of Munchausen by Proxy, a situation that forces a mother to question everything from her past and the doctor's concerns about her role in tearing a distressed family apart. By the author of The Real McCoy. 50,000 first printing.
Industry reviews
"The heart of the story--the unraveling of Josh's life and the steady erosion of his faith that ignorance can be a virtue and happiness is a choice--is riveting." (01/07/2008) "Moving between characters, Strauss veers from heavy satire to social commentary to earnest realism..." (06/29/2008)
