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.

This is a book that has a gripping tale of sexual abuse & violence. I did find it very hard to listen to the parts that described her abuse in such detail. This is a very sad story with only partially a happy ending - I hope she finds the strength to prosecute the monster and his entire family.

I have no doubt that this story is completely true.
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.
