![]() Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. this should have been a magazine article.even the condensed version was way too long. god got a lot of attention. Surprisingly well written, this poor girl was a druggie who was on her way to losing her kid and just barely living. Then this dude shows up and she gives him a moment of pause. Hope she's still doing well I was prepared not to like this book because the over-saturation of media attention surrounding the events. It was recommended to me by my sister and thought I would just borrow it rather than own it. It turned out to be one of the better true stories I have read. It was very interesting to find out about the "behind the scenes" action going on during her hours of captivity. She had great courage and used the experience to turn her life around. Very inspiring and I would definitely recommend it. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

She spends ALOT of time talking about her faith...understandable given the experience, but just a tad bit boring when repeated so much. (
