<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In chapters alternating between "then" and "now," seventeen-year-old Jane Anonymous chronicles the events leading up to her abduction and seven-month captivity and her painful return to family and friends.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz's thrilling novel <i>Jane Anonymous</i> is a revelatory confessional of a seventeen-year-old girl's fight to escape a kidnapper--and her struggles to connect with loved ones and a life that no longer exists. </b> <p/><i>Seven months. <p/> That's how long I was kept captive. </i> <p/> Locked in a room with a bed, refrigerator, and adjoining bathroom, I was instructed to eat, bathe, and behave. I received meals, laundered clothes, and toiletries through a cat door, never knowing if it was day or night. The last time I saw the face of my abductor was when he dragged me fighting from the trunk of his car. My only solace was Mason--one of the other kidnapped teens--and our pact to one day escape together. But when that day finally came, I had to leave him behind. <p/> Now that I'm home, my parents and friends want everything to be like it was before I left. But they don't understand that dining out and shopping trips can't heal what's broken inside me. I barely leave my bedroom. Therapists are clueless and condescending. So I start my own form of therapy--but writing about my experience awakens uncomfortable memories, ones that should've stayed buried. <p/>When I ask the detectives assigned to my case about Mason, I get an answer I don't believe--that there were no traces of any other kidnapped kids. But I distinctly remember the screams, holding hands with Mason through a hole in my wall, and sharing a chocolate bar. I don't believe he wasn't really there and I'm determined to find him. How far will I have to go to uncover the truth of what happened--and will it break me forever?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>YALSA 2021 Best Fiction for Young Adults Nominee<br>YALSA 2021 Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers<br>YALSA 2021 Amazing Audiobooks Nominee</b><br><b>TLA 2021 TAYSHAS Pick<br>2021 South Carolina Young Adult Book Award Nominee <br>New England Book Awards 2020 Finalist<br>Kirkus 2020 Best Young Adult Books of the Year</b> <p/>Stolarz ups the psychological ante...the depth of psychological intrigue is absorbing, and the twist on Stockholm syndrome disturbing...this novel is a testament to how the mind can reshape reality in order to survive...Powerfully graphic. - <i>Kirkus</i>, Starred Review <p/>A story about lingering trauma, loss, and the journey toward healing, this gripping crime novel could be a documentary from the Investigation Discovery channel.
