Somewhere Out There: A Novel

Somewhere Out There: A Novel

What happens when two sisters who were torn apart when their young mother abandoned themâ€”and grew up in tragically different circumstancesâ€”reunite thirty-five years later to find her? For readers who love Jodi Picoult, acclaimed author Amy Hatvany fearlessly explores complex family issues in her gripping, provocative new novel.

Natalie Clark knew never to ask her sensitive adoptive mother questions about her past. She doesnâ€™t even know her birth motherâ€™s nameâ€”only that the young woman signed parental rights over to the state when Natalie was a baby. Now Natalieâ€™s own daughter must complete a family tree project for school, and Natalie is determined to unearth the truth about her roots.

Brooke Walker doesnâ€™t have a family. At least, thatâ€™s what she tells herself after being separated from her mother and her little sister at age four. Having grown up in a state facility and countless foster homes, Brooke survives the only way she knows how, by relying on herself. So when she discovers sheâ€™s pregnant, Brooke faces a heart-wrenching decision: give up her baby or raise the child completely on her own. Scared and confused, she feels lost until a surprise encounter gives her hope for the future.

How do our early experiencesâ€”the subtle and the traumaticâ€”define us as adults? How do we build relationships when weâ€™ve been deprived of real connection? Critically acclaimed author Amy Hatvany considers controversial and complicated questions about childhood through the lens of her finely crafted characters in this astute novel about mending wounds by diving into the truth of what first tore us apart.
