It was never made clear why she was chosen or even why Flagg chose her. Any thoughts
My hunch is because she was a foundling, thus, her and Flagg's son could ponly claim him as an ancestor.
A couple of C&P's from my old thread from IMDb
_Re: Nadine - sorry, I don't have a copy of the book handy, but I thought she was living with her uncle and aunt after her parents died. Don't recall anything about adoption, but I'd have to go back and read it, and it might even vary with different versions of the book, from original to 1985 (which I didn't know existed and I don't believe I've ever read) to the Uncut/1990s version.>
The 1990 version definitely tells us that she was adopted, IIRC, at the age of four months from a foundling home, and that her adoptive parents later had their own natural child, a boy who was--trumpets, please--their very own and that the adoptive parents and brother were all killed in a traffic accident and that one of the parents' brothers or sisters then took Nadine. She was, if memory serves, about six at the time. There is no hint of the foster parent relationship in the first two editions of the book but it is clearly spelled out in the 1990 edition.
As an aside, I sometimes wonder if Flagg did not 'arrange' this accident. No real proof, but I still have my suspicions._
**
In Chapter 49 she is described as taken from the orphanage at the age of four and a half months. I did not recall everything correctly, however; in the book, she is called a 'halfling' not a foundling. But she is also referred to as the earth's child, and from the context, I think it is implied that her natural mother and father were not known.**
My theory is that Flagg chose her because her natural parentage was not klnown, therefore she did not have any real identity. Flagg's son could be Flagg's exclusively.
That's a good theory Gary. I was thinking she couldn't be the last virgin left. I think in some ways not having parents or friends made her vulnerable. Flagg was an outsider who didn't have a home or past. They were connected in that way.
Also man did you watch Salems lot? I'm planning on watching it again and like to see more of your thoughts

Thank you. Granted, it's a theory, but it makes sense, at least to me.
I'm still in that marathon I mentioned earlier. Another week and a half, two at the most, then I'll start watching other stuff. As soon as I watch it, I'll get back to you on it.
