just finished reading...


This is the story of Annie's abduction experience. It is a series of therapy sessions, although always from Annie's point of view, there is no dialog with her therapist although it is evident the therapist helps her process the ordeal. It was a difficult and harrowing experience--with a year's worth of rape and mind games, manipulation and control; and the reader explores how Annie copes for that year. The book is also an exploration of Annie's relationships, how they sustain her and challenge her from before the abduction and after.

It was a difficult book to read. But it was compelling and it was hard to put down.

I've read that this is a difficult read, but I'm still interested in reading it.

I've added it to my TBR list. I'm currently reading (and enjoying) In the Shadow of Gotham, which you recommended.
