Wild Girls

Rare Association Copy! Signed and Warmly Inscribed First Edition, First Printing of Wild Girls by Mary Stewart Atwell.

Published by Scribner in 2012, this brilliant debut novel masterfully blends coming-of-age fiction, Appalachian folklore, mystery, and elements of magical realism. Highly praised by author Karen Russell for its imaginative storytelling and dark atmosphere.

Collector's Note (The Inscription): This is a remarkable, true association copy. The author has signed the title page affectionately as "Molly" (with a heart) and written a lengthy, intimate inscription to a key supporter of the book ("BON").

Crucially, the inscription references "the rest of the Rose-Smith Corporation," directly tying the real-life recipient to the central, fictional corporate entity within the novel's plot. This incredible meta-connection makes this a unique artifact for serious modern fiction collectors.
