review 1: A well written account of horrible atrocities. I couldn't put it down, wanting to believe that something good came out of all Amanda endured. Although I was struck with anger at the boldness and overconfidence in which she traveled into war torn lands, what she endured was absolutely heartbreaking. The fact that she established an NGO advocating education in Somalia after what happened to her is truly inspiring.

You'll get abducted." Also, it seems like she has more than turned her horrible hostage exp... moreerience into a positive thing (she runs a foundation now). less
