The Nowhere Child by Christian White is about a child abduction that is never solved until the brother finally tracks down his missing sister who is all grown up and lives in Australia! Stuart was 9, his younger sister, Sammy only two when she disappeared. Kim Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother who died of cancer, her step-dad, Dean and her younger sister, Amy. Kim is a photographer professor but one day finds out her life is a big lie and she's really Sammy Went who went missing from her home in Kentucky! Kim decides to go to Manson, Kentucky, her supposed hometown, to see if she can find answers. She can't believe her mom was a kidnapper!
This was pretty good mystery, but it kept jumping from past to present just about every chapter which I found annoying. I liked Kim and felt bad for her. The cult stuff in this book creeped me out.
(Karen's review, 3 stars)
Teaser from page 13: Were Jack and Molly Went still waiting for answers? Did every phone call or knock at the door fill them with hope or dread or some bitter mixture of both? Did they see Sammy's face in every woman they passed on the street, or had they found a way to move on?
