From Daylight to Madness (The Hotel #1)

On a rocky island off the coast of Maine, a Hotel looms over the shore, an ever-present gray lady that stands strong like a guard. For many who come here, this island is a sanctuary and a betrayal.This is a place where memories linger like ghosts, and the ephemeral nature of time begins to peel away …like the sanity of all who have been unlucky enough to step foot on its shore.

In the spring of 1873, Isabelle gave birth to her son, he cried for three minutes, and then went silent. During the months that follow, Isabelle is drugged and lulled into a hallucinatory world of grief and fear. Her life feels begins to exist in a terrifying new reality separated from those around her …When her grieving begins to make her husband uncomfortable, he conspires to send Isabelle away to a Summer Hotel on Dagger Island, to "rest". While they are adamant that the hotel is not an asylum and that Isabelle will be able to return to her home, Isabelle understands in her heart that it is all a lie. That perhaps, everything about being a woman in this time, may have always been a lie.
