feral children

"After being placed in foster care with her estranged uncle, Rhi is hoping for a fresh start in the woods working at the Happy Valley Wildlife Preserve. Instead, she stumbles upon a surreal sight: a pair of wolves guarding four feral and majestic girls. She ushers the girls to civilization, where they're met with societal uproar and scrutiny, dubbed by the media and true crime junkies as 'The Wild Girls of Happy Valley.' After Rhi gains the trust of the girls, they reveal that they're lost princesses from another land, raised by a magical prophet they call Mother--and they believe Rhi is their lost fifth sister, prophesied to help them return home. Rhi knows the girls are deluded, but at the same time she's drawn in by their boldness and authenticity--traits she is afraid she has lost within herself. As Rhi grows closer to the girls, witnessing strange phenomena that just might be magic, the line between fantasy and reality blurs. Now, as the hunt for answers intensifies, Rhi must make a decision that will change the course of her life--and the lives of her Wild Girls--forever"--Provided by publisher.
