Seventeen-year-old Louisa Cosgrove thinks she's going off to be the companion to a daughter of some rich family. Instead her horse drawn carriage pulls up in front of Wildthorn Hall, an asylum for the insane.
Louisa is sure this is a huge mistake. They even call her by a different name. Only later does she learn the horrible truth--that she was betrayed. Her crime? She refuses to follow the norms of her time. She's determined to escape this horror. Wildthorn is an extraordinary historical tale with chilling descriptions of what happened to young women who refused to follow the norms of that time.
