The Song of Sourwood Mountain is really good. I was captured by a woman named Mira, and I felt transported back to this little town in Eastern Kentucky. However, we saw she ran into a young man with whom she had gone to school as a boy. His name is Gordon.

We see it mostly through Mira's eyes but also through Gordon's, who happens to be a preacher for the Sourwood children. This little village and the folks who live in Sourwood are the best part.

The children of Sourwood are really sweet and loving. We meet a few of the children, but it seems that we also get a new story about a little girl and how she is feeling. Will this little girl get the family she always wanted? Will Mira be a good teacher and wife to Gordon? Will Mira learn to trust, love, and lean on the Lord? Maybe she will do her Lord's calling.

Can they bring education and reading to children? Will the folks welcome a new teacher and preacher's wife? Will Mira fit in and find a sense of community and family?

Kimberley Leamy lives in Melbourne, Australia is shocked when a man approaches her while at the college where she teaches photography. He claims that she is his sister, Sammy who had been abducted when she was two years old from Manson Kentucky USA. Stuart Went gives her irrefutable evidence as to who she really is.
The Nowhere Child is the first novel by award-winning Australian author, Christian White.

This just an amazing and powerful debut novel. Such an amazing twist on the missing child genre. This is a dark, intense and somewhat chilling psychological thriller. The author has managed to weave a dark, intense and somewhat chilling psychological thriller filled with a number of different emotional themes throughout. With all of this combined it makes for an emotional, suspense filled explosive novel.
This wonderful new author cleverly weaves the past and present so clearly and has packed so much emotion into this novel. I love how the pace of the novel flows and how the characters develop throughout.
The ending of the book is just so unexpected and I can only hope we see more to come from this author.
Thank you to Netgalley and HarperCollins for an ARC copy of this book
