Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they're sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, terrified and alone. There, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. Rose, a hippie who insists she's going to keep her baby and escape to a commune. Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby's father. And Holly, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Every moment of their waking day is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what's best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it's never given freely. There's always a price to be paid . . . and it's usually paid in blood.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'At turns frightening, anxiety-producing, infuriating, beautiful and sad' - \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eReaders love \u003ci\u003eWitchcraft for Wayward Girls\u003c\/i\u003e . . .\u003c\/b\u003e 'I was drawn in from the very first page'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Gave me chills'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Tackles female rage brilliantly'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Disturbing but brilliant'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWitchcraft for Wayward Girls\u003c\/i\u003e was a No. 5 \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller the w\/e 18th January\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"PearlyBooks","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52851165921547,"sku":"9781035030897-Gar","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2242\/9963\/files\/13829733482556.jpg?v=1769622989","url":"https:\/\/shop.pearlybooks.com\/products\/9781035030897","provider":"PearlyBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
