Witchcraft for Wayward Girls (TPB) (Hendrix, Grady)
“I did an evil thing to be put in here, and I’m going to have to do an evil thing to get out.” Florida, 1970. Fifteen-year-old Neva is taken to Wellwood House to see out the final three months of her pregnancy. The isolated maternity home is for unwed girls, fast girls, loose girls, girls in trouble, girls who didn’t know how to say ‘no’. There’s Rose, the hippie; Holly, the twelve-year-old mute; Zannia, the sceptic, and Myrtle, the dreamer who doesn’t believe she’s actually pregnant at all. Miles from the nearest town and forced to abide by the home’s draconian rules, the girls are powerless, kept in the dark of what is to come. The cruelties and manipulations intensify, but then the girls discover a book secreted away in the attic. A book to take back control of their lives and to save each other. But the book is dangerous too, as most deals with the devil are . . .
