Melbourne, Australia. Photography teacher Kimberly Leamy never thought that she one day would question her identity. But, when a stranger shows up telling her that she was kidnapped as a child and she's actually named Sammy Went, she doesn't believe him at first. Could her wonderful mother, who died four years earlier, have kidnapped her in the US and traveled to Australia? However, Kimberly is proven wrong and she decided to travel to Kentucky to find out the truth about her origin. But, sometimes the past is best left in peace...

Religious fanaticism. Kidnapping. Secrets. If these sound like things you like to read about, then THE NOWHERE CHILD is the book for you - beautifully written with a story that pulls you in from the start. The present-day story is interwoven with flashbacks to what really happened twenty-six years ago when little Sammy was taken. Without giving too much away, I do want to say there are some interesting twists and turns towards the end of the book.

I quite enjoyed THE NOWHERE CHILD and I'm looking forward to reading more books from Christian White.
