Synopsis

Austin Boyd’s vivid writing plunges you into Appalachia with such descriptive realism that you taste the perfume of summer clover and melt into the tender heart of a young woman who would sacrifice anything for Daddy. Hearkening to the myth of Pandora’s Box, Nobody’s Child sweeps you into a world where unprecedented choices never intended by heaven lead to unintended consequences never before seen on earth. Meet… Laura Ann McGehee—Determined to honor her father’s dying request, the young West Virginia woman will do whatever it takes to save the family farm, including using the one remaining financial resource she has—her body. Sophia McQuistion—Thanks to the unusual sacrifice of a woman she has never met, she carries the child she could never conceive. Ian Stewart—In Laura’s time of need, he’s more than just a close friend. He is a source of grace, a man who loves Laura Ann through her many trials. When unusual circumstances place Sophia’s baby in Laura Ann’s care, Laura Ann is now the virgin mother of her own biological son. The media call him “Nobody’s Child.” But somebody wants him badly enough to steal him. Weaving together bioethics and faith, Nobody’s Child dramatizes a future that is already upon us with consequences we can no longer avoid.

3.5 Stars This book was hard for me to rate for many reasons. One being that I know the author personally, and whenever you know the author, you can’t help but read differently. Another reason is that I’m not comfortable reading books with such strong Christian undertones. My mother loves Christian f......more

In order to pay for her father's medical bills she started selling her eggs, but the shame of giving away life has her unwilling to admit it to anyone.

Goodreads review by Anna on June 28, 2019

Nobody's Child was an surprisingly good read, and one I had trouble putting down! While it is, at times, a bit awkward, with a slightly-too-perfect ending, it overall manages to tackle some tough topics through the lens of a Christian worldview, without being preachy or even coming to a single disti......more

This book was a good story, but the cover of the book didn’t do it justice. The book was about a farm and a young girl. The cover , to me, looks like a teenage girl with a lady who helps her out. The story was not that at all. Just my opinion. lol......more
