Summary of Gregg Olsen's Starvation Heights

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia, was the setting for the story. It was a world bustling and tranquil, with a musky sweet-smelling blend of extremes. The sisters, Dora and Claire, were the only unmarried women there.

#2 The sisters, Ethel and Gertrude, had died from scarlet fever when they were young. Their father had died shortly after their mother. Their grandfather, Charles Williamson, had left them a fantastic fortune.

#3 The sisters were drawn to the idea of being healthy and wealthy, and they spent their fortune on traveling to health institutes and hospitals. They eventually received a book from Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard, which explained how every ailment is caused by dietary factors.

#4 The fasting treatment, which was the subject of Dr. Hazzard’s book, depended on the fact that disease has its origin in impaired digestion. The sisters thought little of traditional doctors and their drugs. They were excited to try the sanitarium in the country west of Seattle.
