Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

“My body is turning into a stranger.”

The book captures that specific fear of your own changing body. It turned a natural process into something haunting and strange.

Institutional care often feels more like a prison. The staff treated the girls like broken things to be fixed and sold.

Friendship between the girls became their only actual weapon. They had nothing else but each other in that house.

“If you don't exist, you can't be a problem.”

Living in a home for pregnant girls feels like being erased. It showed me how society hides away what it finds inconvenient.
