By the age of nine, I will have lived in more than a dozen
countries, on five continents, under six assumed identities. I'll
know how a document is forged, how to withstand an interrogation,
and most important, how to disappear . . . To the young Cheryl
Diamond, life felt like one big adventure, whether she was hurtling
down the Himalayas in a rickety car or mingling with underworld
fixers. Her family appeared to be an unbreakable gang of five. One
day they were in Australia, the next in South Africa, the pattern
repeating as they crossed continents, changed identities, and
erased their pasts. What Diamond didn't yet know was that she was
born into a family of outlaws fleeing from the highest
international law enforcement agencies, a family with secrets that
would eventually catch up to all of them. By the time she was in
her teens, Diamond had lived dozens of lives and lies, but as she
grew older, love and trust turned to fear and violence, and her
family--the only people she had in the world--began to unravel. She
started to realize that her life itself might be a big con, and the
people she loved, the most dangerous of all. With no way out and
her identity burned so often that she had no proof she even
existed, all that was left was a girl from nowhere. Surviving would
require her to escape, and to do so Diamond would have to unlearn
all the rules she grew up with. Wild, heartbreaking, and often
unexpectedly funny, Nowhere Girl is an impossible-to-believe true
story of self-discovery and triumph.
