Jen's Jewels Interview: Wayward Girls by Susan Wiggs

In this week’s Jen’s Jewels, I’m so excited to bring you my heartfelt chat with the wonderful New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs about her latest novel, WAYWARD GIRLS. This isn’t just any story—it’s inspired by true events, hidden pieces of history, and Susan’s own childhood memories that came rushing back when she revisited her hometown. We talked about everything from the real-life Magdalene Laundries that shaped her research to the surprising “Easter eggs” she uncovered that bring the 1960s setting to life. Through it all, Susan shares how hope, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of friendship can shine even in the darkest times. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a story linger long after you’ve turned the last page, you won’t want to miss this behind-the-scenes look at WAYWARD GIRLS. Happy reading—and may this one stay with you, too. To read the interview, click here.
