"On Blackwell's Island, a hospital was built to prevent its patients from ever leaving. Edyth Foster's late parents' fortune is under her uncle's care until her twenty-fifth birthday. Finding a loophole in the will, Edyth's uncle whisks her off to the women's lunatic asylum on Blackwell Island just weeks before her birthday. Edyth fears she will never be found, but at the asylum she meets another inmate, who upon discovering Edyth's plight, confesses that she is Nellie Bly, an undercover journalist for The World. Will either woman find a way to leave the terrifying island and reclaim her true self?"--
