520    "1860: As the clash between the states rolls slowly to a 
       boil, Elizabeth Packard, housewife and mother of six, is 
       facing her own battle. The enemy sits across the table and
       sleeps in the next room. Threatened by Elizabeth's 
       intellect, independence, and outspokenness, her husband of
       twenty-one years is plotting against her and makes a plan 
       to put her back in her place. One summer morning, he has 
       her committed to an insane asylum. The horrific conditions
       inside the Illinois State Hospital in Jacksonville, 
       Illinois, are overseen by Dr. Andrew McFarland, a man who 
       will prove to be even more dangerous to Elizabeth than her
       traitorous husband. But most disturbing is that Elizabeth 
       is not the only sane woman confined to the institution. 
       There are many rational women on her ward who tell the 
       same story: they've been committed not because they need 
       medical treatment, but to keep them in line-conveniently 
       labeled "crazy" so their voices are ignored. No one is 
       willing to fight for their freedom, and disenfranchised 
       both by gender and the stigma of their supposed madness, 
       they cannot possibly fight for themselves. But Elizabeth 
       is about to discover that the merit of losing everything 
       is that you then have nothing to lose..."--|cProvided by
