Publisher's Synopsis
Lauren has always been naive. She has a disorder that makes her believe everything that everyone tells her - to the point that she often puts herself in danger. When she has the opportunity to have an operation to correct her disorder, she and her family are thrilled. Now Lauren can live a normal life. But after the surgery Lauren grows more and more paranoid, convinced that she's part of a government conspiracy that only she can uncover. Told in journal entries and therapy-session transcripts, 'The Innocence Treatment' is a collection of Lauren's papers, annotated by her sister long after the events of the novel.
