Summary, Etc. "In 1968 we meet six teens confined at the Good Shepherd -- a dark and secretive institution controlled by Sisters of Charity nuns -- locked away merely for being gay, pregnant, or simply unruly. Mairin -- free-spirited daughter of Irish immigrants, committed to keep her safe from her stepfather. Angela -- denounced for her attraction to girls, sent to the nuns for reform, but instead found herself the victim of a predator. Helen -- the daughter of intellectuals detained in Communist China, she saw her 'temporary' stay at the Good Shepherd stretch into years. Odessa -- caught up in a police dragnet over a racial incident, she found the physical and mental toughness to endure her sentence. Denise -- sentenced for brawling in a foster home, she dared to dream of a better life. Janice -- deeply insecure, she couldn't decide where her loyalty lay -- except when it came to her friend Kay, who would never outgrow her childlike dependency. Sister Bernadette -- rescued from a dreadful childhood, she owed her loyalty to the Sisters of Charity even as her conscience weighed on her. Wayward Girls is a haunting but thrilling tale of hope, solidarity, and the enduring strength of young women who find the courage to break free and find redemption... and justice"-- Amazon.com.
