The Girls of Wellwood House: When Society Fails Its Daughters
When fifteen-year-old Neva Craven's father drives her to Wellwood House in 1969, the silence between them speaks volumes. She's pregnant, and in her parents' eyes, she has "ruined everything." Wellwood House-a "Home for Unwed Mothers" in Florida-looms before her like a prison disguised as salvation. Inside, she becomes "Fern from Baltimore," stripped of her identity alongside other pregnant teenagers each assigned flower names to erase their pasts. Under Miss Wellwood's iron rule, these girls face a brutal truth: they are not here to be supported but processed-their babies extracted and their "shame" erased from society's view. The daily routine transforms them into an army of "Cinderellas," cleaning obsessively while attending manipulative counseling sessions with titles like "My Baby and Me: Hello and Goodbye." The message is clear: surrender your baby, return home, and pretend this never happened. But what happens when society's most vulnerable discover that their only true ally might be the very darkness they've been taught to fear?
