Summary
Details

"A young, fit and healthy 11-year-old girl, with perhaps more than her fair share of childhood ailments, was never going to be prepared for what was to come.

Within 6 months her slim, petite frame had produced breast tissue that went from an 'A' cup to a shocking, humiliating and life debilitating 'L' cup and there was absolutely no one who knew when, how or if, it would stop. Her body had turned against her by becoming an autonomous operating vessel, never ceasing in its multiplication of breast tissue, and severely sabotaging the life she once knew.

The Medical Profession called it Idiopathic, the family, who laughed, cried and fought their way through this insidious and iniquitous disease, called it a marauding, monster. Her breast tissue was literally taking over her life, causing untold physical and emotional misery.

The only solution was at best, a breast reduction and the very worst... wasn't worth thinking about.

This is a story about a mother and daughter's turbulent journey towards getting back a body normal.

""A powerful, heart-rending, and honest portrayal of one woman's Herculean battle to heal and protect her young daughter whose body has been tricked into premature womanhood. Beautifully relayed through frustration, devotion, and humour, Nichola's bravery is astonishing as she takes us on a deeply personal, sometimes harrowing, journey, and one that tests every atom of a mother-daughter bond, as she relentlessly pushes for answers. A profoundly moving, compelling and inspirational read.""
