Description

This mesmerizing story of love, madness, and the indomitability of the human spirit, spans five generations and the unimaginable gulf between an 1885 Kansas lead mining town and the vibrant culture and changing attitudes of the 1970’s. Twenty-four-year-old Emma Pullen enters the dark, surreal world of Seven Steeples, the women’s ward of the infamous Central State Indiana Hospital for the Insane, rising above the confines of her environment in a beautifully told panorama of strength, apprehension, and tenderness. At the same age, her great-granddaughter embarks on a quest to uncover family mysteries locked away for over sixty years, and in the process confronts her own adversities.
