In The Gardens of Good & Evil

By Ruthe McDonald

After a devastating accident leaves her bound to a wheelchair and unable to speak, thirty-one-year-old Constance (Connie) Simmons is sent to convalesce at The Gardens, a rehabilitation and nursing home.There to receive therapy and round the clock care, Connie is learning to walk again. Connie is far from the "mental" case her father and some staff (she overheard) call her. She chooses not to speak or let people know just how much she knows or understands. She has her reasons.There's something rotten in The Gardens. There is a lot a person can learn when others do not think you understand. Connie learns that her father's reach goes a lot further than she ever feared. A month turns into six, then six months turns into four years. There is no one on the outside she can contact. No one who can help her. Learning to trust her instincts, Connie is confronted with a hard decision: Do nothing and let her father get away with his sins, including what he has done to her over the years. Or take a chance and trust the few good people she has met.It's not an easy choice with a father hell-bent on destroying you; doctors, nurses, administrators, and certain staff with their own agenda, and in her father's back pocket. Nepotism, Greed, Cover-ups, Falsifying Records, Personal Vendettas are only a few of the evil things taking place at The Gardens. After four long years, Connie receives an unusual visit that changes everything. The only problem is, whom can Connie trust in The Gardens of Good and Evil, where friends become foes and foes become allies, and whom you thought you could trust turns out to be your worse nightmare.
