RAQUEL Y. LEVITT

In 1890s Missouri, secrets are
a matter of survival.
Clairvoyant Sarah Richardson screams as her older sister Katherine is forced into a straight-jacket and thrust into a carriage bound for the St. Louis City Lunatic Asylum. She is devastated to learn Katherine has been blamed for her inadvertent role in an abused woman’s murder. Now, too frightened to speak up, she hides the truth that it should have been her in that carriage.
