About this ebook

In 1999, at the tender age of ten, Charlene Lunnon and Lisa Hoodless were snatched as they walked to school. Over the next week, they were held captive, tortured, raped and almost killed. News of the girls' disappearance dominated the headlines, and the entire country held its breath, praying for their safe return as a massive police hunt failed to turn up any clues. But then a miracle happened. The girls were found alive, their abductor was arrested and the case was closed.

But there was to be no such closure for Charlene and Lisa. Over the coming years, their friendship was strained to breaking point, as they struggled to reconcile themselves to their painful memories and to each other.

Abducted is their astonishing first-hand, insider account of how it feels to be kidnapped, how they survived their horrific ordeal and how they have found the strength to move on and rebuild their lives.

Ratings and reviews

Impressive. At first I was not thinking the book was going to be good. As I kept reading a few more pages, the book began to hook my eyes, and so on. Great book.

This book is fantastic. I couldn't put it down. The first part of the book tells of the actual abduction and describes the ordeal and abuse the girls suffer and it can be hard to read. But it just shows how strong they were to get through it all. The second part of the book talks about the aftermath of the abduction and how the girls deal with everything that has happened to them. An excellent well written book. I highly recommend.

This read with very intense. Sad , powerful, and heroic. These girls endured horrible events that no child should have . It effected them in ways they did not understand, yet in time them became each other's hope to live. Opens our eyes to what evil is out there.
