I will not think about it anymore. I won’t think about her. My lost little sister with her beautiful smile, her chestnut-coloured eyes. My sister who I couldn’t protect.
If you passed Alice on the street, you couldn’t help but smile. At how she holds hands with her husband, Jack, who she has been with since she was at university. At the way she admires her three boys, the centre of her universe.
But if you looked very closely, you’d see how tightly she holds Jack’s hand, afraid to let go. You’d see how carefully she watches her boys, scared to look away. You’d see her smile fading in a matter of seconds, and the pain she hides behind her eyes.
She has told Jack that she ran away from home when she was younger – but she didn’t tell him the whole story. Her husband doesn’t know about the guilt she bears about her little sister she failed to save.
Now, after a lifetime of fresh starts, Alice can feel her past playing catch-up. She is sure she is being watched, certain she is being followed. She may not be able to stop her secret coming out – but can she stop the world she has lovingly built collapsing in on her?
This utterly heartbreaking, beautifully written and gripping family drama examines just how far we are willing to go for our loved ones, and the desperate decisions we make when we have no other choice. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kerry Fisher and Liane Moriarty will be blown away by this incredibly moving tale.

Nicole Trope went to university to study Law but realised the error of her ways when she did very badly on her first law essay because-as her professor pointed out- 'It's not meant to be a story.' She studied teaching instead and used her holidays to work on her writing career and complete a Masters' degree in Children's Literature. After the birth of her first child she stayed home full time to write and raise children, renovate houses and build a business with her husband.
The idea for her first published novel, The Boy under the Table, was so scary that it took a year for her to find the courage to write the emotional story. Her second novel, Three Hours Late, was voted one of Fifty Books you can't put down in 2013 and her third novel, The Secrets in Silence, was The Australian Woman's Weekly Book of the month for June 2014.
She lives in Sydney with her husband and three children
The Nowhere Girl By Nicole Trope
Review by Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Nicole Trope, Bookouture and
NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Must Read Book of 2020! Nicole Trope’s Nowhere Girl covered some
tough subjects like no other author has before! She makes it into an incredible
storyline with so many twists and turns and some very shocking moments.
Nowhere Girl drew me into the story right from the first sentence
of the story. How could you not fall for little Molly!
I loved this book for the suspenseful mystery and the very
unique storyline. However, this book may not be everyone’s cup of tea for the
subject matter.
Nicole mentions in the book and I agree with her that
authors put out the same themes to books many times. Especially when it comes
to writing about woman. Many ideas and issues in books revolve around domestic violence
and child abuse. Why? Because society has not gotten it right yet.
She is incredibly passionate about this issue and it comes
out in the characters and their behaviors. Some scenes I wondered how she stomached
as they were a little graphic.
This book went from present day and the past to give you the
back story.
