One of the sickest children in America. More than two hundred hospital visits, dozens of surgeries, and a mother who never left her side. Then the doctors began to ask a darker question: what if the person harming Jennifer Bush was the person who loved her most?

Journalist Sara Ganim grew up in the same sun-bleached Florida town as Jennifer. Decades later, she returns to a case that split a family, a courtroom, and a community—a case built on a diagnosis that turns a mother's every act of devotion into evidence against her. As Sara digs into the doctors, the records, and the science, she uncovers a question that reaches far beyond one family: how do we tell the difference between a parent who is harming a child and one who is simply refusing to give up?

From Audible Originals and Campside Media, Mother Knows Best: Saving Jennifer is an investigation that will make you question everything you think you know about protecting children from harm.

For listeners drawn to the medical unease of Do No Harm and the family-under-the-microscope tension of Take Care of Maya.
