AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Melanie Spence was just another sixteen-year-old until the sunny afternoon she was kidnapped. Suddenly her everyday problems - an oversexed boyfriend, an irritating mother, a dad who left home - paled in comparison to the sick fantasyland her kidnapper called reality.

'Samuel Levine was about forty, trapped in his own demented netherworld of domineering monsters, dead sisters, and an obsessive desire for a family. Melanie and a little four-year-old girl were his prisoners on a terrifying odyssey of danger and destruction. There was no way he would let them go...not alive, anyway.

'Though bound and gagged, Melanie refused to give up hope. She still had her brains, so why be a victim when she could be a survivor?'
