Hear Her Howl

<I>A 2026 Rise: A Feminist Book Project List selection</I><BR/><BR/><B>As fiercely feminist as it is hopeful, this speculative, sapphic YA romance from the author of <I>For Girls Who Walk through Fire</I> is simultaneously a modern-day war cry and a PSA that there is a wolf who slumbers inside us all—we only have to wake her. </B><BR/><BR/> Rue’s life is over. After she’s caught kissing a girl behind the Sunday School classrooms, she gets exiled to Sacred Heart so she can be transformed into her mother’s idea of a respectable lady. The irony of being sent to—of all places—an all-girls Catholic boarding school is not lost on Rue, especially when she falls irreversibly under the spell of its ethereal, ferocious outcast, Charlotte Savage. <BR/><BR/> But there’s more to Charlotte than her sharp gaze and even sharper tongue: Charlotte Savage is, against all logic, a werewolf. And <I>Rue</I> can become one, too—any woman can, if she’s brave enough to heed the wild that howls inside of her.<BR/><BR/> She and Charlotte aren’t alone in answering the call, and upon forming a wolf pack of fearless girls who refuse to remain docile, Rue realizes she couldn’t have been more wrong. Her life isn’t over. It’s just beginning.<BR/><BR/> This world is not kind to women, much less wild women . . . but God help the man who tries to cage the girls of Sacred Heart.
