It''s here in an institution that opened in 1878 and was originally called the Provincial Lunatic Asylum that Ruby Jean learns to survive isolation, boredom, and every kind of abuse. Just when she can hardly remember if she''s ever been happy, she learns a lesson about patience and perseverance from an old crow"--P. [4] of cover. |
