Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs, Susan Wiggs
4.0
challenging emotional medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

A great historical fiction about a real place that starts in the late 60s and spans decades. Marin is sent to an institution run by nuns to keep her away from her step father. The institution is not what it seems and Marin fights it from day one. She meets other girls that are there and they start forming friendships and seeing their resilience through their horrible experience. 

The story is about friendship, strength and determination. It spans decades and some parts of it was just heartbreaking to read. 

Jane Oppenheimer and Cynthia Farrell did a good job with the narration and I felt the sternness of the nuns and the pain that these girls went through.
