"What would it take to convince you that you were?" In 1948, Cora Nell Dillard is committed to Milledgeville State Hospital by the husband she says is trying to silence her. She insists she is sane. The doctors are not convinced. Then Cora Nell begins noticing things that do not fit: patients losing weight, records that seem to tell different stories, a suspicious death, and a system that appears determined to protect itself. As she quietly documents what she sees, she discovers that the truth may be more dangerous than the institution ever imagined-and that the one person she cannot completely trust may be herself. The Patient's Account is a psychological historical suspense novel about truth, power, memory, and the terrifying cost of refusing to look away.
