Overview
With a new preface reflecting on her life so far after prison, her true feelings about ex-boyfriend and co-conspirator Nick Godejohn, and her regrets as she stumbled in the unforgiving public eye, My Time to Stand is Gypsy-Rose Blanchard’s story as only she can tell it.
A victim of her mother’s Munchausen by proxy and child abuse survivor, Gypsy’s unique and controversial case made headlines across the world. Now, she’s finally free to start living her life on her terms. Forced to use a wheelchair in public and endure a lifetime of faux illness, fraud, and exploitation, Gypsy was subjected not only to her mother’s medical, physical, and emotional abuse, but deprived of childhood milestones. Prevented from attending school or socializing, Gypsy’s formative years were defined by pain and isolation.
After serving eight years in prison for the role she played in her mother Dee Dee’s murder, Gypsy is embracing her fresh start—and reminding all of us that it’s never too late.
In this revelatory, harrowing, and ultimately hopeful memoir, Gypsy shares the painful realities she grew up with and the details of her life that only she knows, including memories of her final days in prison, how it felt to finally see her family again as her authentic self, and what she learned upon reviewing her own medical records for the first time.
Featuring Blanchard family photos and facts about Gypsy’s life that she previously kept private, My Time to Stand offers an unprecedented look at the real Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, proudly embarking on her ongoing journey to recovery and self-discovery.
