"Loved it! Her family's experience may well be a wake-up call for others. I highly recommend this well-written, interesting book." ─ Reedsy Discovery

"I'm thankful to Dr. Milberger for taking the time and effort to write this book. This story needs to be heard: it is eerily like what I've heard from so many of our patients. I'm hopeful that the more the evidence grows and the "word gets out." maybe one day soon it will get the attention of the medical community and mold-injured patients will get the respect and proper treatment they deserve." ─ Dr. William J. Weirs, M.D., F.A.A.E.M., Center for Occupational & Environmental Medicine

"I'll never look at my bath mat in the same way. Molded is a gripping journey through the horrors that mold visits on a family trapped in a home trying to kill them. Courage and pluck are part of the stops along this thoughtful chronicle of surviving an attack by invisible forces. I kept turning pages and hoping for the rescue that these lovable characters deserved." ─ Ron Seybold, author of Viral Times.

"Dr. Milberger's book shines a light on one of the most under-studied and underappreciated threats to our health and safety at home: mold. We have detectors for everything from tiny leaks to threats like carbon monoxide, but still most of us couldn't identify the symptoms of toxic mold growing in our walls. By the time we know the culprit, it may be too late. Dr. Milberger reveals the threat we too often ignore in her personal, riveting account." ─ Alan Henry, author of Seen, Heard, & Paid.
