Cherry Tompsett

How was I made...I want to find out why I'm like this?How do you tell a child she is not the age that she thinks she is?Desperate for a child, Sheila Mott is the first to apply when she reads about an eminent professor who is offering free I.V.F. treatment to women who are prepared to donate their surplus eggs. However, the treatment does not go as expected. Only ten weeks later she gives birth to a healthy nine pound six ounce baby - Lily. How old do you think Lily looks?... Oh I don't know: to me she's eleven weeks old.... but how old would anyone else thinks she looks?... I'd say, one. Why is Lily developing so quickly; four times the rate of a normal child? It is only a matter of time before Lily comes to the attention of the media. Hounded by the press, Sheila and her family flee to another address but Lily's growth rate does not slow down and they are forced to keep moving. Will they ever be able to live a normal life?
