When Health Is Corrupted by Wealth
Step into True Colors -- a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime
​
Marvel at true but forgotten history when patients check into Linda Hazzard’s Washington state spa in 1912 and soon become victim of her twisted greed.

Heiress Stella Burke is plagued by insincere suitors and nonstop headaches. Exhausting all other medical aides for her migraines, Stella reads Fasting for the Cure of Disease by Linda Hazzard and determines to go to the spa the author runs. Stella’s chauffer and long-time friend, Henry Clayton, is reluctant to leave her at the spa. Something doesn’t feel right to him, still Stella submits herself into Linda Hazzard’s care. Stella soon learns the spa has a dark side and Linda a mean streak. But when Stella has had enough, all ways to leave are suddenly blocked. Will Stella become a walking skeleton like many of the other patients or succumb to a worse fate?

MY BOOK REVIEW:  

5 Stars: 5/5 Star Rating

I've read one other book in the True Colors series and I have to say that I love this book in the series!  Wow!  As horrific as the story is, the book and story could not be more well-written.  The characters were so real and I couldn't help but like Stella and Henry.  I was rooting for them to be together and just kept hoping for it, but Stella is on a journey to find help from the awful, nearly constant migraines that she is experiencing in 1912.  I can't imagine being so hopeful of treatment and finding that you're in a place of death and abuse. 

 This book is well worth the read !  Check it out!  I don't think you'll be disappointed. This book is based on a true story. 

I received a digital copy of this book from netgalley and Barbour Fiction.   All opinions expressed are my own.
