This book is a fascinating and powerful story that is hard to put down. Angie is a relatable protagonist whose struggles with multiple personality disorder reveal more disturbing aspects of her past. The novel deals not only with kidnapping and the repercussions that has on family, friends and the victim, but also with the aftermath.
