About this ebook

On March 2, 1998, ten-year-old Natascha Kampusch was kidnapped, and found herself locked in a house that would be her home for the next eight years. She was starved, beaten, treated as a slave, and forced to work for her deranged captor. But she never forgot who she was-and she never gave up hope of returning to the world. This is her story.

Ratings and reviews

I couldnt stop reading the horrible things that happened to her. The unjustness of the situation made you want to scream at the kidnapper. Then her thoughts on good and evil just blows your mind. She is stronger than i will ever be.

An amazing story. She has an amazing ability to understand her captor and to see the core of him without judgement. A truly beautiful girl with an open heart even though she went through hell. I applaud her for telling her story so honestly.

I really like reading these types of true stories. Sad& scary but inspiring and respect and admiration for their strength. Need to add more like this type to Google play store.
