About this listen
You're not going home. You're not going anywhere. You're mine now.
Growing up in a deeply troubled family, 15-year-old Anna felt lost and alone in the world. So when a friendly taxi driver befriended her, Anna welcomed the attention, and agreed to go home with him to meet his family. She wouldn't escape for over a decade.
Held captive by a sadistic pedophile, Anna was subjected to despicable levels of sexual abuse and torture. The unrelenting violence and degradation resulted in numerous miscarriages, and the birth of four babies.... each one stolen away from Anna at birth.
Her salvation arrived 13 years too late, but despite her shattered mind and body, Anna finally managed to flee. This is her harrowing, yet uplifting, true story of survival.
Contains mature themes.

It is a shocking account of the suffering & trauma that Anna received during her kidnapping. I just hope she finds complete peace in the future.
Almost Unbelievable.

She has so many horrific injuries and bushes with death. It's amazing she got out alive at all.
She has 4 children taken from her and yet continues to want to have more children. Not once does she seem to give any thought to the lives and trauma those children were going to be subjected to growing up in such an environment.
Then even after she decided she had to get out she was once again taken to the hospital and once again does nothing to escape while presented with another perfect opertunity.
Finally she manages to get someone to wait outside in a car based off a note she slips her. Then the door just happens to be unlocked despite this only ever happening once in the last 13 years. Nice coincidence.
I am well aware that in such situations people do not act rationally. I have read many similar accounts including knowing two people who escaped a similar horrific experience and this just didn't read like a real account. It seemed very focused on giving a lot of repetitive gore to the reader.
I fully believe that many of these horrific events have happened to a lot of women and it's utterly horrific. But this story read more like fiction than reality and passing it off as such is a little dodgy.
I imagine it could be based on someone from the Rochdale child sex abuse ring. That would fit, but I think it would be a loose association.
The ending too was all just a bit to Oh Jolly Jockey Stick. But I won't ruin everything for you if you still want to read it.
Didn't ring true.

Gripping. Devastating and a triumph of spirit.

Listening to. Even though it affected me emotionally the victim is brave to even put her horrible 13 years of captivity on paper. I’m not sure I felt elated at the end as her life will forever be a struggle of horror memories.
Compelling and traumatic story
