This does go in more detail about Elizabeth’s kidnapping BUT she doesn’t go into deep detail of what her kidnapper did to her at all. She just mentions where it happened and how often

i wanted to like this book but the amount of times that there were mentions of elizabeth’s kidnapping being gods plan for her. I don’t know in what way that’s even remotely okay. why would god let someone so young go through that?
