Heartbreaking and disturbing. I can't give this book five stars because reading about Michelle's torture wasn't "amazing," but she is.

This poor woman could not catch a break the first 32 yrs of her life. I feel for all three of these remarkably brave and determined women. I hope she finds the peace and happiness she so deserves.

Quick read. It was interesting and very horrifying. It's hard to believe this all happened less than an hour from me. I have been by that house (after the fact) and it is off of a busy road. I have no clue how nobody saw anything for so long. There were a few things that I wished she had expanded on and I was really turned of by the 'r' usage several times. If you followed the story, this is worth the read.

I was really interested in Michelle's story, but I could not stomach it. The horrors this woman survived are unfathomable. Very selfishly, I chose to stop reading of her tortures so that I can continue to sleep at night and leave my house every day.

Again, just like Jacee Dugaard's book, I found this book rather hard for me to stomach in parts because some of the details were absolutely horrific.
However, I managed to finish reading this book within 2 days. It was absolutely heart breaking and gut wrenching to read about Michelle's experiences of : growing up within a tough environment full of abuse, losing custody of her only son and then being kidnapped and held within Castro's house for over a decade.
I commend Michelle's bravery and strength, and commend the fact that she never forgot about seeing her son again, even on her darkest days.
By the end of the book, I was profoundly disturbed by the story, so much that it stayed with me long after I finished it.
I really hope that Michelle finds the peace and happiness in her life that she so badly deserves.

It's too difficult to rate this - too heartbreaking, wrenching and just bonebreakingly sad.
