The Girl From Nowhere

Dr. Jude Alport has spent her career helping others navigate their grief, while keeping her own fears carefully locked away. But when her seventeen-year-old patient is found dead in an apparent suicide, Jude's carefully constructed world collapses. Wracked with guilt and facing a professional investigation, Jude begins to suspect that Jennifer Shaw's death wasn't self-inflicted and that someone wanted her silenced. As the truth begins to surface, Jude and her wife Dana take in Jennifer's younger brother, Luke, and find their lives entangled in something far darker than they imagined. Their search for answers leads across continents into the heart of Ireland's past, where the haunting legacy of the Magdalene Laundries and a long-buried black-market adoption ring resurface with devastating consequences. At the center of it all is a man shaped by cruelty and determined to settle old scores, and a mystery that forces Jude to confront her deepest fear: to love fully, knowing the cost. Rich with emotional resonance and suspense, The Girl From Nowhere is a gripping literary mystery about trauma, resilience, the redemptive power of love, and what it means to finally come home.
