For a cis-het white guy with no kids, Grady Hendrix sure does nail pregnancy and childbirth.
This book is upsetting and horrific and heartbreaking and beautiful and cathartic and witchy and perfect. I loved it. I cringed. I cried. Grady hasn’t let me down yet.
Here's my staff pick review:
Grady Hendrix has done it again. Witchcraft for Wayward Girls is set in a Home for Unwed Mothers in the 50s where a few of the pregnant teenagers discover real witchcraft, for better or worse.

As someone who has birthed two children, trust me when I say that Grady Hendrix somehow nailed the pains and discomforts of pregnancy and childbirth with terrifying accuracy.
This book is gruesomely visceral in the best way. It might just be his best yet.
