In Plain Sight: A True Story of Kidnapping and Rape by Anna D. Stoddard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The stars suggest I liked this story, but that sounds misleading to me – it wasn’t a great story and certainly not for the author. That she has got away from the situation is working through it is the good part that I liked – not the experience for her. Terrible, horrific, etc. Be careful reading this – it is graphic in parts.
