520 "It's 1927 and eighteen-year-old Mary Engle is hired to
work as a secretary at a remote but scenic institution for
mentally disabled women called the Nettleton State Village
for Feebleminded Women of Childbearing Age. She's
immediately in awe of her employer -- brilliant, genteel
Dr. Agnes Vogel. Dr. Vogel had been the only woman in her
class in medical school. As a young psychiatrist she was
an outspoken crusader for women's suffrage. Now, at age
forty, Dr. Vogel runs one of the largest and most self-
sufficient public asylums for women in the country. Mary
deeply admires how dedicated the doctor is to the poor and
vulnerable women under her care. Soon after she's hired,
Mary learns that a girl from her childhood orphanage is
one of the inmates. Mary remembers Lillian as a beautiful
free spirit with a sometimes-tempestuous side. Could she
be mentally disabled? When Lillian begs Mary to help her
escape, alleging the asylum is not what it seems, Mary is
faced with a terrible choice. Should she trust her
troubled friend with whom she shares a dark childhood
secret? Mary's decision triggers a hair-raising sequence
of events with life-altering consequences for all."--
