{"product_id":"where-the-girls-were","title":"Where the Girls Were","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePregnancy 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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor: Kate Schatz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 368\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 9.6 in H | 6.5 in W | 1.3 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: March 3, 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: The Dial Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Dial Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900542009558,"sku":"9780593736975","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/WheretheGirlsWere.jpg?v=1772587639","url":"https:\/\/telegraphhillbooks.com\/products\/where-the-girls-were","provider":"Telegraph Hill Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
