Winner of the Victorian Premier’s Literary Award, this internationally bestselling debut thriller by screenwriter Christian White delves into psychological suspense as a woman uncovers devastating family secrets and her true identity. Kimberly Leamy, a photography teacher in Melbourne, learns that she may be Sammy Went, a girl who vanished from her home in Manson, Kentucky, twenty-six years prior. An American accountant believes Kim is the kidnapped child, challenging her perception of the loving social worker who raised her and died four years ago. On April 3, 1990, Sammy disappeared from her Kentucky home, leading to the estrangement of her parents, Jack and Molly Went. Jack struggled to raise their other children while Molly found solace in her faith within a Pentecostal fundamentalist group known for handling poisonous snakes during worship. The family's dynamics deteriorated without Sammy, and now, with evidence suggesting Kim and Sammy are the same person, she travels to America to meet a family she never knew. As she seeks answers about her abduction, Kim is drawn into a world of religious fanaticism, where she must confront those determined to "save" her soul and fight for her life.
