Kidnapped at 21. Held captive for eight months. Survived against impossible odds.

Girl, Taken is the true story of abduction, captivity, and survival. Surrounded by violence, isolation, and constant threats of death, she survived by holding on to the one thing her captors could not take from her—hope.

Narrated by the author herself, this audiobook offers an intimate, powerful, and deeply personal account from the woman who endured—and survived—the events you are about to hear.

A victim of political turmoil and history in making this poor Russian lass spent a terrifying 8 months in the 1990s in captivity by Chechen rebels and she has written and narrated her experience beautifully. I really enjoyed it ...although outraged by the trauma caused her.
