This is the chilling story of a young woman who has been abducted and kept confined in one small room with her child. It has edge of the seat suspense as you feel all the mother's desperation and terror. This becomes more gripping as you read. Although it is heartbreaking it has has an uplifting feel, the mothers love and protection and bond with her son are beautifully portrayed. It is this and her survival instinct that fuels her inventiveness. Deeply affecting and original, it is a story that stays with you.
