"How do you think it feels to recognize...the damned?"

Jennie Raeburn has spent most of her life apart from reality, in and out of asylums for the insane, and her granddaughter Maegen has returned home to find out why. From childhood memories to an old diary written entirely in French, Maegen digs deep into the past of a woman who has lost not her mind, but her soul.

With only the diary and the evocative portrait of an unfamiliar man to guide her, she searches for the answer to her grandmother's descent into madness, and learns the story of a forbidden love that divided an entire community.

Can Maegen pick up the pieces of Jennie's shattered life before she is put away forever? Or will Jennie silently waste away, lost to the world...and to herself?
