Summary: This historical novel follows four young women in the early 20th century whose lives intersect when they are locked up by a world that took the poor, the disabled, the marginalised, and institutionalised them for life. Maxine, Rose, Alice, and London face vicious attendants and bullying older girls at the Massachusetts School for the Feeble-Minded. Each girl is determined to change her fate at all costs. Includes historical notes about eugenics. (Library of Congress)
