Wayward Girls is a novel based on true events; a harrowing yet inspiring story of six girls imprisoned in a Catholic reform school. In her signature propulsive style, Wiggs transports her readers into an elusive chapter of Vietnam-era American history, in which young women were abused and forced into labor en masse for any behavior deemed rebellious.

Despite the conditions, Wayward Girls is filled with hope and friendship. Mairin, Angela, Helen, Odessa, Denise, and Janice overcome physical abuse, isolation, and back-breaking work to find solace within their friendships with each other. Their solidarity provides them with the resilience needed to survive the excruciating conditions of the reform school. At turns haunting and poignant, Susan Wiggs' latest title is a thoughtfully woven story of courage and justice.

Wayward Girls will excite Wiggs' legion of followers and deserves to be recommended to your friends who have enjoyed Before We Were Yours, The Berry Pickers, and Orphan Train. Learn more about Susan Wiggs at www.susanwiggs.com.
