The one thing I really like about the books make your emotions all over the place as they shake you to the core and help you connect with other lives.įor so long a book didn’t function as a sledgehammer to smash my heart into million tiny pieces as like this book did to me. How far will I have to go to uncover the truth of what happened-and will it break me forever?įive I found a new author who is gifted, brilliant and develops amazing characters, I couldn’t put down this book, disconnected with outside world, stayed focused, jumped up and down at some parts and created a new term as “three dimensional reading”, because every suffering, every traumatic experience, every scared moments, every fight of Jane truly resonated with me stars!!! So I start my own form of therapy-but writing about my experience awakens uncomfortable memories, ones that should’ve stayed buried. Therapists are clueless and condescending. But they don’t understand that dining out and shopping trips can’t heal what’s broken inside me. Now that I’m home, my parents and friends want everything to be like it was before I left. And when I finally escaped, I prayed I’d never see him again.

The last time I saw the face of my abductor was when he dragged me fighting from the trunk of his car.

I received meals, laundered clothes, and toiletries through a cat door, never knowing if it was day or night. Locked in a room with a bed, refrigerator, and adjoining bathroom, I was instructed to eat, bathe, and behave. Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz’s thrilling novel Jane Anonymous is a revelatory confessional of a seventeen-year-old girl’s fight to escape a kidnapper-and her struggles to connect with loved ones and a life that no longer exists.
