My Story by Elizabeth Smart

My Story by Elizabeth Smart - 308 pages

This is the memoir of Elizabeth Smart who was kidnapped from her bedroom, taken into the mountains around Salt Lake City and held for nine months.  She tells how her faith helped her keep her sane throughout her ordeal.  How she was afraid throughout the ordeal, how the man who took, her Brian David Mitchell, tried to make her feel like nothing and how his wife, Wanda Brazee, would help him intimidate her.  How she learned to survive.  How they moved to California and how she convinced him that going back to Utah was a good idea and how she was rescued moments after they arrived back.
