The Sanatorium

by Suzanne Marie Wilson

Book Overview

In 1945, the world is at war. Seventeen year-old Francie, a spirited farm girl with a big heart is waging her own war when she arrives at a tuberculosis sanatorium, carrying a suitcase of hope. She's confined to a ward with seven other girls struggling with lonely nighttime pillow talks, bedpans and raging hormones. The clock is ticking against finding a cure. The melting pot of charming characters include Margaret, a patient, who is hiding a dark family secret and bent on making Francie's life miserable. When a mean prank leaves Francie in a deserted tunnel leading to the morgue, life at the sanatorium takes an unexpected turn. Her earthly and heavenly journeys culminate in a surprise ending that is both beautiful and touching. This story is inspired by actual events.
