For musician Eden Atwood, there have been few signs of the dark secret
concealed within her body. A secret so seemingly monstrous, Eden
wasn't supposed to know.

"If my mother didn't think I should know, and my father didn't
think I
should know, and the doctors didn't think I should know," Atwood said,
"I shouldn't let anybody else know."

Even if she had known and wanted to change something,
there's nothing really that can be done physically,
besides mastectomy about it. But, I hope she got estrogen supplements
or her bones would not be good...

Since AIS is not really a mystery condition, I wonder what the fuss is about!
