Ricky Desmond has just been taken to Brookline Asylum due to his acting out which included breaking his stepfather's wrist. The asylum is strange but quiet enough but all Ricky wants to do is contact his mother so he can go home. He's been in such places before but has always managed to convince his mother to take him back but the excuses & evasions he gets from the nurses when he requests to make a call (continued)
This is a prequel to the first book in the series & is set in the 1960s when the asylum was still up & running. The plot itself starts off well although it becomes a little muddled towards the end, but the characters let it down. 1mo
