'A powerful novel about a reform school and the girls behind its walls. '
'Their crimes only those of youth trying to find pleasures in a temptation-haunted world, these girls have been herded together under lock and key to be shown the right road. But can compulsion and discipline ever compensate for love and understanding? In that prison atmosphere, each girl is truly tested for the best and the worst that is in her.
Bursting with desires for which there could be no outlet, these girls formed a volcano of suppressed emotion which was bound to erupt. How it came about and what happened then is the gripping dramatic theme of the House of Fury.'
