We were all full of expectation as we waited patiently at Melbournes international airport. I hadnt slept properly for weeks. All of us had been waiting for this moment for months. Our fourth child was soon to arrive ...This is the story of 18-year-old Kartya Wunderle one of 64 babies flown out of Taiwan in the early 80s. Babies stolen from their mothers or sold by their families and adopted out to unsuspecting overseas parents. At 15 Kartya began to use heroin in an attempt to take away the pain of not knowing who she was and where she came from. Her distraught parents watched their beautiful daughter slowly slip away from them spiralling towards a tragic and almost inevitable conclusion. Out of desperation and fired by an unconditional love for her daughter Nola Wunderle resolved to find Kartyas birth mother and change the ending to Kartyas story. An amazing search for one woman in a country of 22 million began. The result was nothing short of miraculous and made Kartya a national hero in her homeland. Lost Daughter is a moving testament to the power of love and the strength of the human spirit one that will humble and inspire all who read it.
