Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

In the summer of 1970, fifteen-year-old Fern is sent to Wellwood House—a secluded home for unwed pregnant girls—where silence, shame, and strict rules define daily life. Stripped of their names and autonomy, the girls are expected to give birth and disappear quietly.

But when Fern discovers a mysterious book of witchcraft, everything changes. With a group of rebellious girls by her side, she taps into a dark, ancient power that offers a glimpse of freedom—but at a harrowing cost. As their bonds strengthen and their powers grow, they must confront the chilling reality of what it means to claim agency in a world that seeks to erase them.

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls is a haunting blend of supernatural horror and feminist reckoning, exploring the raw pain of girlhood, the terror of institutional control, and the defiant magic that rises when young women refuse to be forgotten.
