Nobody's Child is an emotive and heart felt story which deserves to be read by everyone. The story is not a tale of woe or despair but a tribute to everyone who has fought to overcome adversity. Nobody's Child is due for release on 10th March 2005.

There have been many stories told in the past and to this very day about the horrors of the Irish Famine. Anne Kelly gives the reader of this book a vivid detail of what the people in Ireland experienced during those terrible times, especially the little children.

While reading Nobody's Child, one cannot help but feel "anguish, sadness, and anger at the rogues in this story, but on the same token, a feeling of joy at times, to see the relief and the survival of these strong willed children. Out of the ashes a rose shall grow, and it does, but let us not forget the horrible times of that famine and learn from it

I don't normally go for books that are schmoozy about historical fiction - and I was rather surprised to find myself picking this up in a store and reading the first few pages. I loved it! I don't quite know why I did but I found it so very captivating that I read the whole thing in one sitting in the bookstore! I felt that I had to buy it to reward the author. Read it - you won't be disappointed.
