We’ve got 50 copies of That Girl from Nowhere to giveaway this week, the new novel by bestselling author Dorothy Koomson.

Adopted as a baby, the only connection Clem has to her birth mother is a cardboard box hand-decorated with butterflies. Now as an adult, the tangled truths about her adoption and childhood start to unravel, causing Clem to question whether the price of having contact with her birth family could be too high to pay. Click here to find out more and apply for a free copy.

Don't forget, if you're lucky enough to win a copy of That Girl from Nowhere we do ask that you tell us what you think about the book on the thread below, or write a review here.

I have an adopted sister in law (now adult) so the story line really sounds interesting to me (SIL has no contact with her birth family - her choice).
Have not heard of Dorothy koomson before. Am off the browse Amazon

I've also read all of Dorothy Koomsons books and really enjoyed them.

This sounds like a really difficult subject to write about but I have a feeling that if its as good as her previous books, she will really captured the emotions and feelings of the characters. The story line is quite close to home for me but if done well, it could be amazing.

I have read all of Dorothy Koomsons books and have enjoyed them all. They are not always particularly easy reads as she touches on some quite intense themes, definitely not your usual chick lit.
Really hope I win a copy.
