*There is a home there called "Wellwood House" which takes in wayward girls.
*All the girls there have one thing in common: they are all pregnant and not married.
*One girl named Fern arrives and is young, scared, and feeling very alone.
*She meets the other girls, a unique librarian, and discovers a book about witchcraft. What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections... *The story started strong and grabbed my attention right away.
*I was born in 1967 so the time frame was my childhood and I could feel how disgraced people made these young girls feel.
*As I read, it was interesting to get to know the variety of young girls at had been sent to the home.
*There were times when I lost interest in the story, but I kept going and overall, I'm glad I did.
*I'm not always a fan of magic/fantasy, but I didn't mind it in this story. Who Should Read It... *I think most adult readers would enjoy the novel and take something away from the story. Overall, I would describe it as fiction, but of course there are sprinkles of magic and fantasy throughout the plot. So readers who gravitate toward that genre, would definitely enjoy the story. Happy Reading! Rating... 3 out of 5 stars
