Description

In 1971, sixteen-year-old Sage Winters learns that the twin sister she believed had died years earlier is still alive—and confined at Willowbrook State School, a notorious institution on Staten Island. Determined to uncover the truth, Sage enters a hidden world of neglect and abuse, risking her own safety to bring her sister home. Inspired by the real-life horrors exposed at Willowbrook, this gripping historical novel explores family, resilience, disability rights, and the courage it takes to challenge institutional injustice.
