The Nowhere Child by Christian White
3.0

A child gets abducted in Kentucky but lives out her life peacefully with her supposed parents in Australia. Until her brother finds her - what follows is mystery, torture, a fundamentalist cult, and many weird new family members.
Entertaining, but with a few cringey clichés (most of the fundamentalist men we meet are secretly gay? really?) and a story that could have been completely avoided if the protagonist had insisted on her step-dad telling her the truth instead of storming out without complaint when he "doesn't want to talk about it".
