Overview
āPaul Haggis, Academy Award-winning writer/director ofĀ Crash, Million Dollar Baby, and Casino Royale
By the age of nine, I will have lived in more than a dozen countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. Iāll know how a document is forged, how to withstand an interrogation, and most important, how to disappear . . .
ToĀ the young Cheryl Diamond, life felt likeĀ one big adventure, whether she wasĀ hurtling down the Himalayas in a rickety carĀ or mingling with underworld fixers. Her familyĀ appeared to be an unbreakable gang of five. OneĀ day they were in Australia, the next in SouthĀ Africa, the pattern repeating as they crossedĀ continents, changed identities, and erased theirĀ pasts. What Diamond didnāt yet know was thatĀ she was born into a family of outlaws fleeingĀ from the highest international law enforcementĀ agencies, a family with secrets that wouldĀ eventually catch up to all of them.
By the time she was in her teens, DiamondĀ had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as sheĀ grew older, love and trust turned to fear andĀ violence, and her familyāthe only people sheĀ had in the worldābegan to unravel. She startedĀ to realize that her life itself might be a big con,Ā and the people she loved, the most dangerous ofĀ all. With no way out and her identity burned soĀ often that she had no proof she even existed, allĀ that was left was a girl from nowhere.
Surviving would require her to escape, andĀ to do so Diamond would have to unlearn allĀ the rules she grew up with. Wild, heartbreaking,Ā and often unexpectedly funny, Nowhere Girl isĀ an impossible-to-believe true story of self-discoveryĀ and triumph.
