Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs tells the gut-twisting story of six teens in 1968 who have been sent to the Good Shepard, a reform "school" led by Catholic nuns. Each girl comes from a different background with a different story, but together they must find hope in a dark place. Working together they will find a way to survive, break free and find justice.
This hard but touching story really pulled me in and made me feel for these girls. Each one has such a unique story to tell that really sucks you in and makes them appear real. Wiggs talked to many survivors of similar reform schools and it shows in the realistic nature of the storytelling. Wayward Girls is perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah's The Women.
