Winner of the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award, The
Nowhere Child is screenwriter Christian White’s
internationally bestselling debut thriller of psychological
suspense about a woman uncovering devastating secrets about
her family—and her very identity… Kimberly Leamy is a photography teacher in Melbourne,
Australia. Twenty-six years earlier, Sammy Went, a two-year
old girl vanished from her home in Manson, Kentucky. An
American accountant who contacts Kim is convinced she was
that child, kidnapped just after her birthday. She cannot
believe the woman who raised her, a loving social worker who
died of cancer four years ago, crossed international lines
to steal a toddler. On April 3rd, 1990, Jack and Molly Went’s daughter Sammy
disappeared from the inside their Kentucky home. Already
estranged since the girl’s birth, the couple drifted further
apart as time passed. Jack did his best to raise and protect
his other daughter and son while Molly found solace in her
faith. The Church of the Light Within, a Pentecostal
fundamentalist group who handle poisonous snakes as part of
their worship, provided that faith. Without Sammy, the Wents
eventually fell apart. Now, with proof that she and Sammy are in fact the same
person, Kim travels to America to reunite with a family she
never knew she had. And to solve the mystery of her
abduction—a mystery that will take her deep into the dark
heart of religious fanaticism where she must fight for her
life against those determined to save her soul…
