review 1: I went back and forth between 3 and 4 stars for this one. Katie's story is an incredibly brave one. The things she went through before and during her abduction were horrendous. I'm incredibly happy for her that she was taken in by such a loving family and was able to heal from the harm that was done to her. The book itself was a bit confusing at times because the chapters jumped back and forth from being told by the report Carolyn to Katie herself. It would have been less distracting had it been written differently to that or maybe even putting the name of who was speaking as the chapter titles.
review 2: I saw Katie Beers on a talk show and wanted to know more about her horrible ordeal. It is shocking that being held captive for seventeen days in a box, being... more molested and poorly fed could be the best thing that happened to her. She had lived a life filled with sexual, physical and emotional abuse and neglect all her life. The reason it ultimately was a good thing is that Katie was rescued from this sad life by being adopted into a loving family. Days shy of her tenth birthday when she was abducted in 1992, she had already been robbed of her childhood by the abuse and neglect. Finally, after twenty years of recovery, it was time for Katie Beers to share her story. It has a happy ending, offering hope to other victims. The book effectively delivers the message from the viewpoint of the victim and of a reporter who covered the incident. less
