Description
In a world where healing is never simple, a determined protagonist is drawn into a high-stakes medical and moral struggle that forces hard questions about consent, control, and what “treatment” truly means. As the story unfolds, private suffering collides with institutional power, revealing how hope can be shaped—or exploited—by those who hold the authority to decide. With mounting tension and sharply observed character dynamics, the novel explores themes of autonomy, ethics in care, and the thin line between compassion and coercion. Martha Stephens delivers a suspenseful, emotionally driven narrative that blends psychological insight with a compelling sense of urgency.

truly fucking infuriating case. i wish the book spent more time focusing on the humanity of the victims and their families. reasonably the author instead focuses more on the paperwork discovery, the journalistic effort, and the legal proceedings—all of which she was part of. but i felt that more time could have been spent interviewing and biographing the lives of the victims and their families.
