They were sent away to be forgotten. This is their story.

In this electrifying historical novel about coming of age in tumultuous 1960s San Francisco, a pregnant teenager reckons with womanhood and agency after being sent to a home for unwed mothers.

"Thrilling, propulsive, breathless, and brimming with a deep understanding of longing and frailty . . . of humanness."--Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich and Wreck

It's 1968, and the future is bright for seventeen-year-old Elizabeth "Baker" Phillips: She's the valedictorian of her high school, with a place at Stanford in the fall and big dreams of becoming a journalist. But the seductive free-spirited San Francisco atmosphere seeps into her carefully planned, strait-laced life in the form of a hippie named Wiley. At first, letting loose and letting herself fall in love for the first time feels incredible. But then, everything changes.

Pregnancy hits Baker with the force of whiplash--in the blink of an eye, she goes from good girl to fallen woman, from her family's shining star to their embarrassing secret. Without any other options, Baker is sent to a home for unwed mothers, and finds herself trapped in an old Victorian house packed with pregnant girls who share her shame and fear. As she grapples with her changing body, lack of choice, and uncertain future, Baker finds unexpected community and empowerment among the "girls who went away."

Where the Girls Were is a timely unearthing of a little-known moment in American history, when the sexual revolution and feminist movement collided with the limits of reproductive rights--and society's expectations of women. As Baker finds her strength and her voice, she shows us how to step into your power, even when the world is determined to keep you silent.

Easy to use..great results!
This product actually delivers on its promises! It took of years worth of road film and grime from our motorhome..leaving a clean base for the application of Poli Glow polish... Our motorhome is now looking shiney and new again. Very easy to use..just mop it on..let set for a few minutes then pressure wash off.

The product downer live up to the advertised claim
Washed a side by side section of my 2022 rv with poli prep and simple green. The comparison was tragic. Simple green definitely is a superior product. Don't waste your money.

Great cleaner for tough stains on fiberglass
This cleaner was recommended by a fellow boater. I was having difficulty cleaning some black streaks on the hull, and dark stains on the water line. After trying several excellent cleansers that have never failed me, I decided to give this one a try. It cleaned up the stains when used as directed and did not damage the finish on the gelcoat. A good cleaner to have in your arsenal!
