With a long string of unbelievable stories to explain her frequent injuries, Social Services sees Katt is the stereotypical abused child. When she is admitted to hospital with yet another broken bone, they do the only logical thing to protect her, removing Katt from her mother’s custody.

But Katt and her mother know that something is wrong, and it has nothing to do with abuse, and the longer Katt stays in foster care, the worse her health gets. Can they get the answers they need before it is too late? Can they get the answers and get Katt back home?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was drawn to these books because I have two friends with EDS. They complain that anytime EDS is featured in a book or on TV the writers just don’t get it right. Although the friends have a lot more symptoms that the main character in the story I feel like the author got a lot of this condition correct. Great book!

Looking for something new in young adult literature? A fast-paced adventure with diverse characters that will keep you turning the pages.

—Reading EDS brought awareness to me of some real medical issues that get overlooked by the public and in our medical system. Although [P.D. Workman’s] books are fiction, they hold a remarkable amount of information.

—I didn’t want to put any of [the Medical Kidnap Files] down.

—I loved it… awesome to see what the friends had planned in book one start coming together, with a few bumps along the way. It was amazing.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

One of my friends from school has EDS. Even though she was diagnosed with hypermobile joints in junior high and went through a number of joint collapses causing broken bones, she was not diagnosed until adulthood, when her two sons were diagnosed with EDS.

I wanted to help with spreading awareness about EDS. As I researched EDS, it occurred to me that it would make a good disease to base one of my medical kidnap books around. A child with frequent dislocations and broken bones, deep bruises, and terrible scarring could easily be mistaken for one suffering from domestic abuse. So, I started work on EDS, book #2 of the Medical Kidnap Files.
