(4) YA Ambitious seventeen-year-old Louisa longs to become a doctor. Her dream dims as she finds herself incarcerated in a Victorian insane asylum. With the help of servant Eliza escape becomes a possibility, but the romantic love growing between the two girls presents another danger. Although the mystery of who ordered Louisa's incarceration is well wrought, her modern attitudes and self-confidence sap some tension from the story.
