![]() “The Home for Wayward Girls” by debut novelist Marcia Bradley takes an inside-out approach to the concept by following a young woman named Loretta, who calls one of these facilities home because it’s at the ranch where she lives with her parents, who also run it. She revealed in a 2020 documentary and a recent memoir about how her parents, frustrated with her rebellious teenage behavior, sent her to multiple facilities that promised to straighten her out, places where she says she was abused mentally and physically. Much has changed since COVID-19 arrived in 2020, including how we use our homes. In 2022, Elizabeth Gilpin published “Stolen: A Memoir,” about her experience in one of these schools that touted therapy for troubled teens. There have been a number of recent accounts of young people, particularly young women, who were sent to schools for so-called “troubled” or “bad” kids. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The Home for Wayward Girls” (Harper) by Marcia Bradley This cover image released by Harper shows "The Home for Wayward Girls" by Marcia Bradley. ![]()
