Wow! What a page turner!
A young woman is kidnapped and locked away in a totally secure shed where she gives birth to two children. After seven years, she is determined to escape. What if her attempts fail? How much worse might her conditions become? What if her attempts succeed? Is she really ready for the outside world? You'll never know if you don't read the book!
I have a favorite quote from the book I would like to share:
. . . when I woke up in that shed, I thought nobody'd ever had it as bad as me. But the thing is, slavery's not a new invention. And solitary confinement - did you know, in America we've got more than 25,000 prisoners in isolation cells? Some of them for more than twenty years." . . . "As for kids - there's places where babies lie in orphanages five to a cot with pacifiers taped into their mouths, kids getting raped by Daddy every night, kids in prisons, whatever, making carpets till they go blind -" . . . "Not just children. People are locked up in all sorts of ways."
Makes you think, huh?
