In Where the Drowned Girls Go, the next addition to Seanan McGuire's beloved Wayward Children series, students at an anti-magical school rebel against the oppressive faculty "Welcome to the Whitethorn Institute. The first step is always admitting you need help, and you've already taken that step by requesting a transfer into our company." There is another school for children who fall through doors and fall back out again. It isn't as friendly as Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. And it isn't as safe. When Eleanor West decided to open her school, her sanctuary, her "Home for Wayward Children," she knew from the beginning that there would be children she couldn't save; when Cora decides she needs a different direction, a different fate, a different prophecy, Miss West reluctantly agrees to transfer her to the other school, where things are run very differently by Whitethorn, the Headmaster. She will soon discover that not all doors are welcoming... Hardcover; 160 pages
Show your love for the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire with this enamel pin inspired by Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. This is how I imagined the house while reading the books. This is a 1.79 x 2 inches / 4.54 x 5.08 cm hard enamel pin with gold plating. It has two back posts and black rubber clutches. You can upgrade to locking backs, wich are more secure if you intend to wear the pin frequently. Grading: ♦Standard | A grade: means the pin is basically perfect, it may have very tiny flaws, but I didn't notice them during my inspection. ♦B grade: means it has little flaws like missing enamel or is overpolished. These little defects are barely noticeable, unless you turn it in the light and see it very closely from different angles.d

The life story of Newel and Lydia’s son Jesse Knight raises a familiar but provocative question: How far will the temple’s sealing power reach out to rescue the wandering children and grandchildren of faithful, temple-married parents? Some Church members believe that eventually, regardless of when or how far some of their posterity may stray, the sealing power will bring them back. The answer to their question rests on the central issue of agency. It may help to ask it this way: If God extends redeeming grace and exalting power through the full blessings of Christ’s Atonement and the priesthood ordinances, why must each of us still engage the process so willingly?
