Zephany Two Mothers One Daughter an Astonishing True Story Joanne Jowell biography kidnapping baby The book is a paperback book in a like new condition There are 296 pages including photos Barcode 9780624086406 ******ABOUT THE BOOK****** The kidnapping of baby Zephany Nurse from the cot beside her mother's hospital bed made headline news. Desperate pleas from her parents to return her safely went unanswered. There was no trace of the baby. For seventeen years, on her birthday, the Nurses lit candles and hoped and prayed. Living not far away from the Nurses, 17-year-old Miché Solomon had just started Matric. She had a boyfriend. She had devoted parents. She was thinking about the upcoming school dance and the dress her mother was going to make for her. She had no idea that a new girl at her school, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her, and a DNA test would shake her world to it's foundations. Miché is now 22. This is her story - for the first time in her own words. Told with astonishing maturity, honesty and compassion, it is also a story of what it means to love and be loved, and of claiming your identity. ********************* In April 1997 a woman dressed in a nurse's uniform walked out of a Cape Town hospital carrying a three-day-old baby taken from the maternity ward as the baby's mother lay sleeping. It was only by chance, 17 years later, that the stolen child discovered her true identity. It was the first day of term at Zwaanswyk High School in Cape Town and the beginning of Miché Solomon's final year. And that January day in 2015, 17-year-old Miché was mobbed by other students excitedly telling her about the new girl, Cassidy Nurse, who was three years younger but looked almost identical to her. Initially, Miché didn't think much of it. But when the two girls later met in the corridor, Miché says she felt an instant connection she couldn't explain. "I almost felt like I knew her," she says. "It was so scary - I couldn't understand why I was feeling like this." Despite the age difference, Miché and Cassidy began spending a lot of time together. "I would say, 'Hey, baby girl!' And she would say, 'Hey, big sis!'" Miché recalls. "Sometimes I would go to the bathroom with her and say, 'Let me brush your hair, let me fix you up with some lip gloss.'"
