A really good book that is about a girl and her sister whose mom has died and their dad works at a mental asylum in the middle of no where. They are cared for by a jealous aunt who thinks that if they love anyone else they can't love her, or they will stop loving their mom. It is based in the year 1900, the dawn of mental knowledge.
I liked this book so much...until the end. This is the story of two sisters, their father (a widower) and their dead mother's sister who move to an insane asylum in New York. It's the story of dealing with a parent's death, and people trying to slowly reform asylums. However, the ending seemed like such a let down. I don't know if Whelan was hoping to write a sequel, or whether it was supposed to be so open-ended. I didn't enjoy it.
