Photography teacher Kim Leamy’s ordinary life in Melbourne is turned upside down when a stranger claims she is really Sammy Went, a toddler who vanished from Kentucky 28 years earlier. Initially skeptical, Kim confronts disturbing evidence and decides to travel to America to uncover her identity. As she and her birth family wrestle with grief, secrets, and divided loyalties, Kim delves into a world of religious fanaticism and hidden agendas. Alternating between the past and present, the novel gradually reveals how Sammy disappeared—and why Kim was taken. In a gripping climax, the truth forces Kim to confront not just who she is, but who she was raised to be.
