Zephany
By Joanne Jowell
Tafelberg. $20
It is every mother’s worst nightmare: Your newborn baby is kidnapped from the hospital shortly after birth. But how does it feel if you find out as a teenager that you are in fact the kidnapped baby? Your mother is not really your mother, she is your kidnapper and you are Zephany Nurse. In this book Zephany tells her side of the story for the first time. She tells of the shocking day when the headmaster called her in to tell her that she is not who she always thought she is. She talks about her battle with her double identity, the complicated relationships with her biological family and the family she grew up with, and who she is now as a young mother of two.
