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.
