Description
In 1950s upstate New York, five teenage girls—each carrying private wounds and public disappointments—are drawn together in the uneasy orbit of a local high school. As their anger at injustice hardens into solidarity, they form a girl gang and begin to test the limits of loyalty, power, and survival in a world determined to define them. With Joyce Carol Oates’s sharp psychological insight and unflinching attention to social pressures, the novel explores how identity is forged under constraint and how rebellion can both protect and endanger. Part coming-of-age and part moral reckoning, it traces the costs of choosing a voice when the rules were never meant to include you.
