About Where the Drowned Girls Go

Cora needs a different path from Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children and transfers to the Whitethorn Institute, a school for children who have fallen through doors and returned. But Whitethorn is harsher, colder, and far less safe, and Cora soon learns that some places demand denial instead of healing.
