The Glass Coffin

A disgraced lawyer, Eleanor Vance, is drawn into a contested will that bequeaths an abandoned juvenile reformatory to a fractured family. As she deciphers a century-old diary from the institution, she uncovers a monstrous pattern of a family silencing its nonconforming heirs through institutional abuse and surgical erasure. The deeper she searches for the truth, the more the labyrinthine archives reflect her own suppressed origins, forcing her to confront a legacy where the dead whisper and the living are merely their ghosts.
