Wayward girls : a novel / Susan Wiggs.
"... A wrenching but life-affirming novel based on a true story of survival, friendship, and redemption when six girls come together in a Catholic reform school in 1960s Buffalo, NY."--Provided by publisher.
Wayward Girls follows six teenage girls confined in 1968 at the Good Shepherd, a harsh institution run by nuns where girls were locked away for being gay, pregnant, or defiant. Each girl--Mairin, Angela, Helen, Odessa, Denise, and Janice--faces trauma, injustice, and repression but finds strength in friendship and resilience. Through their intersecting stories and the conflicted loyalty of Sister Bernadette, the novel explores themes of abuse, resistance, and the fight for justice and self-worth.
