Publisher's summary

The unthinkable horror happens to Claire Wright. What is presented by her spouse as a trip to deliver a client's custom hat turns out as something more sinister. Only in her worst nightmare would she find herself abandoned at the local insane asylum. When Claire discovers the young doctor is interviewing her as the newest inmate at Hatchie River Asylum for the Insane, dreams of being a housewife and mother vanish forever. How could an otherwise blissful marriage go wrong and land her in this predicament? She's wondering more how she'll get out of it.

In 1941, there aren't many options for women. One day, she finds that option, but there are unintended consequences. Few support systems are in place, and she's praying one of them will come through for her. Can Claire face her fate, or will the gruesome secret of what happened at the asylum haunt her forever?

Unique and disturbing

A fairly dark storyline but still an extremely interesting listen! Enjoyed the narration, the narrator does a great job giving the story life and is very easy to listen to.
