De: Hazel Hart

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In 1860 America, contrary women are often declared insane.

When Hannah True witnesses a young woman being assaulted, she rushes to her rescue and is taken into custody for interfering with the arrest of a fraudulent voter. The judge orders Benita Walton, who dressed as a man and attempted to vote, committed to the Brookdale Lunatic Asylum. He gives Hannah a warning: stifle her impulses and leave physical rescues to men or face prison.

Concern for Benita’s welfare leads Hannah to have her family commit her to Brookdale. Inside the asylum, Hannah learns Benita has been removed from the general population to the much-whispered-about violent ward where harsh punishments endanger the lives of the inmates. Determined to check on her friend, Hannah causes chaos and succeeds in being moved to Benita’s ward. Now that they are roommates, will either woman survive long enough to gain her freedom?
