The Art of Drowning

Katherine Bailey, known as Kath, exists on the same planet as everyone else. Yet, the world she lives in is vastly different. Silver Pathways, a residential facility just twenty minutes away from her house, is where she finds herself stuck. It's where she meets Evangeline Mandel, and this changes the course of her stay. The only thing is, Kath herself doesn't want to change. She does her best to slip under the radar and resists the help her favorite nurse, Landels, tries to offer. All the while, there's Evangeline. As the two of them share a bedroom, a friendship starts to bloom, and soon more. Then, suddenly, everything changes. Before she can blink, Kath's world is flipped upside down. She thinks the way she can get out of Silver Pathways is clear: simply just gritting her teeth through it and moving on. Except Kath can't seem to move on. She can't seem to get out. Three months at Silver Pathways for Kath isn't as short as it may seem. In fact, it will feel like a lifetime.
