Leslie Howard, Hillary Huber, and Sara Morsey's gripping narrations bring this story to life. In 1970s Florida, 15-year-old Fern is sent to Wellwood Home, a facility for unwed mothers. Controlled by strict adults, the girls form bonds amid their struggles. When a librarian introduces Fern to a book on witchcraft, the girls discover an opportunity to reclaim their power--at a price. Howard captures Fern's innocence and growing strength with nuanced emotions and depth. Huber offers a contrasting rhythm, adding layers to the audiobook's structure. Morsey contributes emotional resonance and a reflective tone. Their combined performances enhance the narrative's tension, making it an unforgettable experience with vivid storytelling and a stand-out narration.
