Summary
On June 5, 2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart, the daughter of a close-knit Mormon family, was taken from her home in the middle of the night by a religious fanatic. Held captive by him and his wife, Elizabeth suffered daily physical and emotional abuse. Rescued nine months later, she rejoined her family. Now for the first time, Smart tells the story of how she survived and endured, and found the strength to pick up the pieces of her life. (Bestseller)
