Quaint and full of joy, Girlwood tumbles through a story of family, friendship, grief, community, environmentalism, loss, magic, and fear. It weaves together nature and beauty and humanity with an otherworldly twist. Dean crafts a delightful simple story with layers of complexity and emotion. It’s empowering and beautiful and rooted in honesty and connection.
