I could not put this book down. It was a great book, however I will never understand why the girl who was trapped for so long did not leave when their were many opportunities to do so.
After being held prisoner for years and enduring years of painful abuse, I would risk it all if I thought that there was a chance at freedom.
This book is about a girl who was kidknapped and kept by a husband and wife and stored under a bed in a man made box. This went on for years. Eventually they let her out to run loose in the home and introduced her to friends as a relative who just came to visit.

Horrific story with some revealing psychological insight into the mind of captive victims. Not the greatest true crime book, but a decent read and a quick one.

Memorable. In a sea of true crime books over the years, this one stands out. It is an outstanding story.

Christine McGuire should be ashamed of herself. She wrote this UNAUTHORIZED book about Colleen without sharing a penny of her proceeds.
Blood money....
Don't buy the book on moral reasons, which should count somehow in picking a book.

If this book hadn't been a True Crime book, I would have never believed it .... truth is, many times, stranger than fiction.

A very interesting true crime story. It is hard to believe that anyone could survive being a "sex slave" for seven years. The story is interesting because it really makes you wonder about the victim... why didn't she leave even when she had the opportunity?

I could not finish this book. I love true crime books, but I was so angry at the perpetrator for the cruelty in his ongoing debasment and torture of this woman, I had to stop reading.
