In Buffalo, New York, Mairin is a typical teenage girl, going to school and holding down a job. Her brother was just drafted for Vietnam. She is sent by her mom and stepdad to the Good Shepherd, a Catholic Reform school due to her behavior. While there, she meets other girls from varying situations. Mairin quickly realizes that the school is more like a prison and sets out trying to escape. Years later, their time at the Good Shepherd still haunts the girls. Stop by the circulation desk and pick up your copy of Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs today.
