In the shadows of the Josdall Lunatic Asylum, the past refuses to stay silent.
As they piece together journals, hidden ledgers, and whispered spirits, Andrea Butler-O’Leary and Hazel Emmett unravel a web of injustice, silent resistance, and a secret network of women determined to protect one another in the face of cruelty. But attempting to reveal the truth comes at a deadly cost—one that has echoed through generations.
When Lily Cunningham, a molecular genetics student and descendant of a forgotten patient, volunteers to guide ghost tours at the long-abandoned Josdall Asylum, she expects eerie tales — not a journey into her own family’s buried secrets. Lily is pulled into a haunting vision of the asylum’s darkest days, the stories of women trapped behind cold stone walls. Stories of courage, betrayal, and untold suffering.
Haunted by voices lost to time, Lily will confront the injustices of the past and ensure the truth is finally told.
Some truths wait patiently for the right ears. And these walls DO speak.
