Marlo Thomas portrays Marie Balter. Abandoned as an infant, Balter endures abuse and neglect by her foster parents. At age 17, doctors misdiagnose her severe panic disorder as schizophrenia, and she spends 20 years in a mental institution.
A heart wrenching true story of the survival of the human spirit, Nobody's Child journeys from tragedy to triumph as Balter ultimately builds a life, earns a masters degree from Harvard University, and opens her own clinic.
