Exit Wounds | Steve Harrington

Juniper Henderson wants more. More than Hawkins, more than cornfields and cul-de-sacs and the slow, suffocating idea that a girl's life should eventually shrink into a sensible shape.

Hawkins, Indiana, is the kind of place that eats girls like her for breakfast, small-town girls with big ideas and a restlessness that buzzes under their skin like a live wire. It is the sort of place where people settle and grow roots instead of wings. Where the future looks suspiciously like a beige suburban house, a husband who disappears to work or a couch-induced coma, and children who treat basic chores like an insult. Juniper would rather chew glass than serve out such a prison sentence. No, she wants to dig her nails into the marrow of the world and leave her fingerprints there.
