This book is absolutely frightening. Child predators are evil and one child too many fall pray. This book details the horrific life of a young girl abducted at age 10 and beaten down into submission for five years.
If is told from her point of view. The material is dark and there is violence and strong subject matter, which unfortunately is real and too common.
This book will make you nauseous , angry and disgusted with the perpetrator and people who notice something is wrong yet don't do anything about it. You will become emotionally invested in this short novel.
The book is thin, small and only runs 170 pages yet it is powerful and etches images and fear into your mind and body.
It is a fast read, took me less than an hour. You will find yourself putting the book down for just moments to digest the information because it is so tragic the mind can't handle it all at once.
Grade: A

Synopsis
Once upon a time, I was a little girl who disappeared.
Once upon a time, my name was not Alice.
Once upon a time, I didn't know how lucky I was.
When Alice was ten, Ray took her away from her family, her friends — her life. She learned to give up all power, to endure all pain. She waited for the nightmare to be over.
Now Alice is fifteen and Ray still has her, but he speaks more and more of her death. He does not know it is what she longs for. She does not know he has something more terrifying than death in mind for her.
This is Alice's story. It is one you have never heard, and one you will never, ever forget.
