False Jasmine

Imagine growing up in a home where love and danger are inseparably intertwined. In this gripping memoir, Roos Boum tells her shocking story of survival under a mother consumed by Münchhausen by proxy — a cruel manipulation that turned everyday life into a battlefield of doctors, lies, and fabricated illnesses. With piercing honesty and lyrical prose, Boum exposes the chilling reality of childhood abuse, the struggle to reclaim her voice, and the journey toward healing. False Jasmine is more than a memoir — it is a testament to courage, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit. A bestseller in the Netherlands, now available to a global audience, this book will haunt you, move you, and leave you inspired to stand up for the voiceless.
