Sally didn't quite fit in with the group of other little girls in her class in Camden, New Jersey, 1948. Her grieving, ailing mother didn't pay a lot of attention to what was going on with her young daughter and Sally's older sister was understandably preoccupied by her first pregnancy. So when a practical joke goes wrong and a stranger takes advantage of the situation and Sally's naivete', some time passes before anyone knows that something is very wrong. For the next two years, Sally is held prisoner and moved across the country by her kidnapper. Sally longs to go home, but when kind-hearted acquaintances start to notice something not-quite-right with the lonely little girl, they are on the move again. Based on the true story of kidnapping victim, Sally Horner, this disturbing but compassionate novel will draw you in and make you think. Child abduction wasn't something you heard much about back then but this horrific crime will always resonate through our society.
