Helpful Score: 3
Insightful and interesting. Smith blurs the line between fact and fiction. While real patients and staff at the famous Highland Hospital in North Carolina are portrayed throughout the book and the hospital's tragic history, the character of Evalina is a fictional young girl who is a victim of both tragic circumstances and decisions made by others in her presumed best interest, that bring her to live and even thrive in this environment. It is frightening and fascinating, with a realistic view into the times.
