Since November 2009Book News: Stolen Child by Laura Elliot
May 24th, 2010 by Leah
Laura Elliot’s debut novel A Prodigal Sister was released last year and I managed to pick it up at the book swop some months ago. I have yet to read it but it does sound fab so I will get around to it eventually. Laura’s next book called Stolen Child will be published on 22nd July 2010. It sounds like a fantastic read - one fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain and Giselle Green will adore and I must say I’m really looking forward to it. Here’s the synopsis:
When Carla Kelly and Robert Gardner marry, they seem destined for happiness. But tragedy strikes when their two-day-old baby, Isobel, is stolen. Distraught and bewildered, they must cope with the media frenzy that follows. Isobel’s whereabouts remains a mystery for sixteen years. As hope of finding her fades, their marriage disintegrates under the strain and they divorce. Robert moves to Australia and Carla, who had been a successful model, becomes reclusive.
Meanwhile, many miles away in a small country town-land, Aisling Nolan, unaware of her true identity, is the adored only child of Susan and David Nolan. When she discovers the truth, she struggles to come to terms with the knowledge that her childhood was based on a lie - and that the woman she knew as her mother must now stand trial for kidnapping. David, under police investigation, is determined to prove his innocence. For Carla and Robert, the adjustment is equally painful. Their long search is over but their daughter is a stranger to them. Initially, Carla’s anger towards David is intense but, as his story unfolds, and with the eyes of the media watching, she is aware of a strong, mutual attraction drawing them towards each other. Stolen Child is a love story about two families who are torn apart by deception and the consequences of a reckless act that shaped their futures.
