The Wilderness of Girls (2024)
Madeline Claire Franklin
"The Wilderness of Girls is a captivating, jarring and beautifully written story about wildness and womanhood, and the world that is often unwelcome to both. This book is a gut punch of reality but also an invitation to let us remember who we were before the world told us to be something tame. After reading, you'll want to sharpen your teeth and howl. Welcome to the pack."
