Description
In 1910 New York City, four years after her Irish immigrant father dies of tuberculosis, twelve-year-old Essie's fear and anxiety continue to escalate, so much that when her mother, a brave nurse, remarries and the family moves to North Brother Island, where Essie's new stepfather runs a quarantine hospital for the incurably sick, Essie imagines all manner of horrors.
