Description
After being found guilty of first-degree murder, sixteen-year-old June Foster is sentenced to life at Washington Pines Sanitarium. June remains convinced that she was right to kill a man she knew was evil, but as time goes on in the asylum, she begins to question everything she knows. Or thought she knew. As the events leading up to her incarceration are recounted, she begins to understand that the web she finds herself in is far bigger and stickier than she ever imagined. The warden of the facility, both violent and vindictive, is intent on making June's life a living hell. June's previous boyfriend, beautiful turquoise-eyed Frank, is the only one she can trust. Or is he? Caught in the middle of child experimentation with untested drugs, arson, and murders, June Foster is reduced to two options-accept the fact that she has gone crazy, or hatch an escape plan from the asylum to get her life back. Set in America during the 1950s, Asylum is a book you will not be able to put down. The author pulls you along relentlessly in a page-turning thriller that leaves you wanting more with each sentence-to a mind-blowing and unexpected conclusion you will not believe.
