But never fear—her wild best friend has the perfect plan to get Emersyn back on her feet and stick it to her thieving ex: scare him into returning her money by hiring a private investigator to prove he stole it.

The Hospital
by Veronica Clark
Kindle $1.99 Rating: 4.4 #ad
A shocking expose of the appalling abuse and experimentation carried out on vulnerable children at Aston Hall Hospital, Derbyshire, in the 60s and 70s.
“This book was gripping. I sat down and read it in 4 hours; I couldn’t put it down. Incredible storytelling about an experience no human being should ever have lived through. The abuse this woman underwent in childhood was deeply cruel. No child deserves to suffer that way.
Dr. Milner was clearly a monster of a person with a black hole for a heart, who inflicted unforgivable trauma on children for years. Sadly, I think this type of abusive treatment was not a total outlier in psychiatry at the time. Everyone needs to know about this atrocity. These disturbing experiments should not be shoved away in history to preserve the reputation of today’s institutions and treatments.” by Amazon Customer
