Description

Lost, she narrowly escaped disaster.

Beth is desperate to return to normality. After a five-year ordeal, her daughter is finally home. But Carmel has questions she can't ignore about the cult that kidnapped her, and about the preacher who gave her another girl's name.

Found, she must survive a miracle.

Digging into her past, Carmel uncovers secrets which suggest that she wasn't the only lost girl—secrets that put her in danger all over again. While her mother struggles to salvage the safety they've only just found, Carmel tries to come to terms with who she has become. However, she remains haunted by the mystery at the heart of her disappearance as a child:

What happened to the other lost girls?

In The Lost Girls by Kate Hamer, Carmel is determined to confront her past and uncover the truth, risking everything to understand the enigma that continues to control her life.
