“Witchcraft for Wayward Girls” by Grady Hendrix is a compelling novel set in the sweltering summer of 1970. The story follows fifteen-year-old Fern, who arrives at Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida—a place where unwed pregnant girls are sent to have their babies in secret and then give them up for adoption.

Under the strict supervision of Miss Wellwood, Fern meets other girls in similar situations, including Rose, a hippie determined to keep her baby and escape to a commune; Zinnia, an aspiring musician planning to marry her baby’s father; and Holly, a mute girl of barely fourteen, whose pregnancy remains a mystery. Their daily lives are meticulously controlled by adults who claim to know what’s best for them.

Fern’s life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft. For the first time, the girls find power within their grasp. However, as they delve into the mysteries of witchcraft, they discover that power can be as destructive as it is creative, and it never comes without a price—a price often paid in blood. Hendrix’s narrative delves into themes of control, rebellion, and the search for autonomy, offering a haunting exploration of the lengths to which individuals will go to reclaim their agency¹.
