STAFF PICK OF THE MONTH BY AINSLEE AUSTIN

The Nowhere Child by Christian White
The story switches between ‘then’ and ‘now’ revealing pieces of the puzzle surrounding the disappearance of two-year-old Sammy Went from her hometown in Manson, Kentucky to 28 years later when Kim Leamy is suspected to be the missing child now living in Melbourne Australia. A psychological thriller not to be missed. Book and Talking Book now available at Parkes Shire Library.
