The narrative alternated between “then,” when Jane was kidnapped and “now,” 10 months after she was kidnapped. But, what if everything you thought you knew―everything you thought you experienced―turned out to be a lie? Review: Three months of being that girl who was kidnapped, the girl who was held by a “monster.” Three months of writing down everything she remembered from those seven months locked up in that stark white room. Now, it’s been three months since “Jane” escaped captivity and returned home. She never would’ve imagined that in her town where nothing ever happens, a series of small coincidences would lead to a devastating turn of events that would forever change her life. She had a part-time job she enjoyed, an awesome best friend, overbearing but loving parents, and a crush on a boy who was taking her to see her favorite band. Then, “Jane” was just your typical 17-year-old in a typical New England suburb getting ready to start her senior year. Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with Jane Anonymous, a gripping tale of a seventeen-year-old girl’s kidnapping and her struggle to fit back into her life after she escapes. |
