The Act,

or how to be a "good" mother

---

Gypsy Rose, a daughter who was stricken by cancer, muscular dystrophy, and a host of other diseases but still smiling every chance she got, and a mother who was devoted to giving her daughter everything she ever wanted. For over 20 years, they were the seemingly perfect picture of inspiration and hope. So, when Dee Dee was stabbed to death in her own home with her sickly daughter nowhere to be found, the community descended into chaos.

A manhunt was ordered for Gypsy Rose, and to everyone’s delight, she was found just days later. But the Gypsy Rose they found was hardly the same girl who had gone missing. Rather than a thin, disabled cancer patient, the police found a strong young woman, walking and eating on her own. How had Gypsy Rose changed so rapidly overnight? Had she ever really been sick? And, most importantly, had she been involved in Dee Dee Blanchard’s death?
