This novel picks up right from the start. The main character "Alice" is abducted by a man named Ray who calls her his "little girl" and this is where everything goes wrong. Since she is his little girl, he goes to great measures to prevent her from growing up. She was 10 when she got kidnapped and now she is 15. He starves her all the time, gives her pills to stop her periods, forces her to get Brazilian waxes and worst of all rapes her whenever he pleases. You might be thinking why doesn't she just run away. Well, since she has been living with him as a child, he has planted this idea in her head that if she tells ANYONE he will burn down her old house and kill her entire family. Just because of this Poor Alice takes in all the unbearable abuse, pain and beatings from him.
This book is a real eye-opener to the world most of us are unaware of, sadly. The reader of this book needs to have a strong heart to take in all the unbearable cruelties. The scenes are not too descriptive and graphic, but the author tells them in a way where you know exactly whats going on. You might not want to believe it is what you think it is, which leaves you wondering,often. I had to put this book down a countless amount of times just to take in all the information. I really felt for Alice and wanted to rescue her every dreading moment i read.
The ending was good and satisfactory because it could not have been told any other way. We always hear such cases happening on TV and newspapers.But this book allows you live the nightmare along with the victim. After reading this, every time you hear of such cases, you'll know exactly what went on behind closed doors. Which makes me wonder exactly how did the author know what the victim was feeling. Seems like a you had to be there kinda moments. Like you have to walk in someones shoes to feel what they felt.
Anywayz, i would really recommend this book to all girls, mothers and women because we all need to take great measures to protect ourselves and this book just might give out a few very helpful pointers.
