WAYWARD GIRLS by Claire Matturro and Penny Koepsel
(Red Adept Publishing August 2021) Estranged ex-best friends Camille and Jude travel to their former boarding school where a sexual predator had targeted them as teens. Breaking into the abandoned school the night before its demolition, they relive the unfathomable, fiery danger they faced there. Because they were labeled “the crazy girls, the ones who lie,” no one believed them. Then it was too late.
"Wayward Girls is a story for the times we live in now. As women of all ages demand equality and fair treatment, the shadow of the past looms larger than ever and must never be forgotten. It's a compelling read with characters who stay with the reader long after the book is finished." ~Carolyn Haines is the USA Today bestselling author of over 80 novels.
"Emotionally-charged and skillfully written, Wayward Girls is a poignant and heartrending story about trauma, its lifelong hold on one's psyche, and the need for self forgiveness." ~Kelly Stone Gamble, US Today Best Selling author.
"Wayward Girls" is a portrait of brave sisterhood, infused with beauty and exquisite pain. Your heart will melt with every turn of the page." ~Laura Benedict, Edgar nominated author of the Bliss House novels and The Stranger Inside.
"Wayward Girls delivers suspense, emotional depth, social commentary, and a gripping story. Grab a copy, a box of tissues, and the phone number of your oldest friend, because you're going to want to talk about this one after you turn the last page. It's a terrific book." ~MaryAnna Evans, award-winning author of the Faye Longchamp archaeological mysteries, and assistant professor of creative writing at University of Oklahoma.
